Lid retraction: The most common cause for this is an overacting thyroid gland. Blood tests can resolve this diagnosis quickly.

One eye open more: It is possible your medications can due this depending on what they are. It would be wise to have your thyroid gland evaluated since and overacting gland (hyperthyroidism) is the most commonest cause for one eye being open more widely.
