Unequal pupil size after fall7/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I'm wondering if his pupils will normalize and his vision improve in that eye? The doctors don't seem to have any explanation and just say it could take some time so we are going back in another month to have them test his eyes again. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this, especially after a fall. The doctors think he had different sized pupils before the fall (10% of the population apparently does), we even found a picture to support that, but it wasn't this obvious, it was a slight difference. ![]() He said it was fuzzy and tried pulling off the eye patch so he could read it with his other eye. His pupils dilate proportionately, they track fine, the responded to the drops but he couldn't read the largest letters during the eye exam out of his eye with the larger pupil. We've had several follow up appointments with different doctors to rule out some concerns. The dynamic, accurate measurement of pupil size is extremely valuable for studying a large number of neuronal functions and dysfunctions. The small amount of pupil enlargement after the initial contraction from the bright light, and the bouncing pupil size are both due to the indirect response. During exams while there, his pupils were sized very different, one big and one small. He had a concussion (throwing up, couldn't see, falling asleep) and stayed overnight at the hospital. My son fell a few weeks ago and hit his head hard.
