Temporal Arthritis, Eyes Close To Nasal Bridge Sunked In Post Brain MRI. Cause Of Concern?

I had an MRI scan of my brain last night at 6:30. This morning I woke up and both eyes close to the nose bridge have sunk in. It is very obvious. Is this something I should be concerned with? I am currently under the care of a neurologist and was diagnosed with temporal arteritis . I have been taking prednisone since August. Currently, I am only taking 10 mg. a day.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
We need to examine the eye movements in all directions. If the eye does not move to any side, then you should see your neurologist as early as possible. However, if the eye movements are good and normal, then you may wait.
These symptoms are not related to temporal arteritis.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
