When pupils are of unequal size it is called

anisocoria
mydriasis
miosis
pupillary asymmetry

The correct answer is: anisocoria

When pupils are of unequal size, it is known as anisocoria. Anisocoria is a condition where one pupil is larger or smaller than the other pupil. This can be caused by various factors such as nerve damage, eye injury, use of certain medications, or underlying medical conditions. Mydriasis refers to the dilation of the pupil, miosis refers to the constriction of the pupil, and pupillary asymmetry is a more general term that describes any differences in the pupils but is not a specific term used to describe unequal pupil size.
