pupils

Does anyone out there know or has heard about a condition where someone has one pupil bigger than the other all the time?

I dont know the name of it - but I have it! I went to the opticians recently and I was told one of my pupils is slightly larger than the other - but it was nothing to worry about. I cant see it (obviously its very hard to look at both your own eyes at the same time) Do you have it aswell dusty1960?

the condition is called anisocoria.

Yes I do first aid at kick boxing and when a bloke got knocked out once I nearly panicked as when he came round he had odd pupils. (a classic sign of compression after head injury). Luckily I asked the girlfriend if they were always like that before I dialed 999 cus apparently they were. Panic over he was fine. Just a point for you if you get knocked out. Save the first aider having a heart attack and tell them obout it!!!

Thanks for the replies.
Yes Frizz i do have it had it for years its quite noticable to some people, my optician says its nothing to worry about and doesnt affect my vision .. but winny is quite right you should carry something with you to say you have it coz if (god forbid ) we have an accident when they check your pupils they might think you have brain damage!!!!
Thanks Nigella i will look up the condition now i know it has a name.
