Our cat ran into a table while playing, now her pupils are very different. One seems unresponsive to light. Other than blinking a lot in one eye, She doesn’t show other symptoms. What can be done to help her?

You need to take her to the vet urgently, the symptoms you described indicate a total loss of vision in that eye, there is nothing you can do at home to help, she needs veterinary assistance to have a chance to get her vision back in that eye.
