I tried to find something about it on the internet, but came up with nothing. The one thing I did find said he may have hit his head, but his eyes have been like that for a while. Please help

You said they've been that way for a while - how long? Look back at old pictures and see how long this has been happening. then take him to an optometrist to be examined. It's important to be able to give the optometrist an indication of how long this has been happening. Some people are just like this their whole life but, of course, there can be other causes.
Good luck

It is a sign of a concussion, but if he's had it for a while, please have his eyes examined at an Optometrist. The smallest muscles in the human body are in our Iris, the ones called " Rods and Cones", that open and close the pupil. The colored part of our eyes. He could have some problems with those. Better to catch it early. Good luck!

Why are you trying to self diagnose by asking teenagers on Yahoo or reading a story on the internet? Get the kid to a doctor and find out what the problem is. It is not natural to have a dilated pupil.

Several causes of anisocoria are life threatening, including Horner syndrome with carotid dissection or third nerve palsy due to aneurysmal expansion or rupture.
Other causes of anisocoria are completely benign (eg, simple or physiologic anisocoria), although the evaluation of these disorders may produce morbidity inadvertently.”
Given the lack of clear guidance on the topic and the potential for harm it seems appropriate to seek specialist advice.

Have him checked by a doctor...probably nothing, but could be serious...an optical nerve mass, a tumor inside his brain, or something as simple as needing corrective lenses. The doctor should at least do a ct scan to rule out something bad. Good luck...

This is something that really should be checked out by his doctor ASAP. I could suggest many things that could cause this. But it would be a guess. Never guess when it comes to your childs health. It could be or not be a sign of serious problems, Please get this looked into ASAP.
