I have dilated pupils?

Question

My pupils are dilated and they are huge. For the past two weeks I was at camp and people kept asking me why they were so big. I thought they were joking or something. But so many different people asked me. I tried to ignore it.

But I came home and it's my second day home and my family keeps saying my eyes are different and that my pupils are huge even in bright light.

I haven't had any pain in them or anything. But they are really really big compared to how they usually look even if all my lights are on.

what's up?

Answer 1

Yes, you have Adie's Pupil.

Adie Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder affecting the pupil of the eye. In most patients the pupil is dilated (larger than normal) and slow to react to light on nearby objects. In some patients, however, the pupil may be constricted (smaller than normal) rather than dilated. Absent or poor reflexes are also associated with this disorder. Adie Syndrome is neither progressive nor life threatening, nor is it disabling.

So I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck and I hope this helps!
