I have just notice that one of my eye pupils is bigger than the other any ideas on whats causing this?

Answer 1

Anisocoria, which means that the pupil in the right eye and left eye are not the same size. A small amount of anisocoria or difference in pupil size is normal. On some days, a person’s right pupil might be larger than the left and on other days, the pupils might be the same size or the left might be larger than the right. But if more than a small difference in pupil size is present and persists, you may have a neurologic problem.
The size of the pupil is controlled by muscles in the iris – the iris dilator and the iris constrictor muscles. The muscles are controlled by nerves from the brain to the eye. Problems with these nerves cause the size of the pupil to be abnormal. A problem with the nerve that normally dilates the pupil in the dark causes a small pupil. A problem with the nerve that normally constricts the pupil produces an abnormally large pupil.

Answer 2

The signs and symptoms of a concussion can be subtle and may not appear immediately. Symptoms can last for days, weeks or longer.

Your behavior, mental ability and physical skills all are linked to specific areas of your brain. The severity and side effects of a head injury depend greatly on which area of your brain was most affected.

Immediate signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:

Confusion
Amnesia
Headache
Loss of consciousness
Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Drowsiness
Nausea
Vomiting
Unequal pupil size <---------------------
Convulsions
Unusual eye movements
Slurred speech
Delayed signs and symptoms may include:

Irritability
Headaches
Depression
Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or difficulty waking
Fatigue
Poor concentration
Trouble with memory
Getting lost or becoming easily confused
Increased sensitivity to sounds, lights and distractions
Loss of sense of taste or smell
Difficulty with gait or in coordinating use of limbs
If you experience any of these signs and symptoms after suffering head trauma, see your doctor.

Answer 3

Depends on how big and what sort of light you are examining it in.

You need a mirror in the daylight (outside preferably) to examine this properly.

Same result? Get to the doctor or A and E as it is not normal.

Answer 4

This happened to me once and when I showed a co-worker, he insisted I see a dr. It later turned out to be an allergy eye-drop (ophconA) that I used in one eye only. I understand that this can also be a sign of a stroke so you might see your doc just to be sure! Take Care!

Answer 5

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

Answer 6

Most of the time it's the reaction time between the light and dark with the constricting of the pupil. If it stayed that way, then you need to get the cat to the vet as soon as possible- there may be a neurological issue.

Answer 7

please dont listen to anyone other than a doctor about medical issues. you could miss something serious or worry about nothing..

if it bothering you see a doctor, not a web site

aanyway an enlarged pupil is a concern, it could be as part of an infection, a cranial nerve lesion, a retinal deficiency or other neural problems.

get it checked....

Answer 8

When you look at them, the light on both should be the same, or one in the darker area will be larger.

If you have discomfort or poor sight - go for a checkup.

Answer 9

Go to a doctor now. This happened to me when I was in high school and they took it VERY seriously. It turned out that for me, it is a type of migrane. They did all kinds of MRI's and CT scans and EEG's. You might be fine, but you might not be.

Answer 10

mescaline, that's what always made my pupils big back in the day.
