What does it mean when one eye pupil is bigger than the other one?

Question

What does it mean when one eye pupil is bigger than the other one?

Answer 1

I sometimes get that too. An eye specialist told me that some people get it from having brain damage. But that mine happened at random times, mostly when I was under stress and that it is completely normal. If it is constantly like that then I would have it checked out by a doctor or optometrist.

It is completely untrue that one pupil can be larger than the other one due to light ect ect. We are not chameleons (an eye specialist also told me this) lol. Under normal conditions and without brain damage or a specific reason, our eyes will both look in the same direction and react simultaneously to changes in lighting or to shock ect ect.

Don't worry too much though.. it's usually nothing..

Answer 2

I would see a dr.

Answer 3

It could be more light is entering one eye  causing pupil to contract.

It could also be one eye is more sensitive than the other - causing it to contract.

Even one eye's muscles could be stronger than the other and then it could even be Diet related.

I guess, if your concerned then just see a Dr over this matter and you'll get it resolved. You may not like the answer you get but you'll get an answer nonetheless.

Answer 4

It could be a condition called adie's syndrome

Dont worry, it isn't a brain tumor, i've no idea where he got that from.

Answer 5

Depends on how much bigger the one is in relation to the other.  If the pupils have always been this way then there is less suspicion of anything other than your being a normal variant.  If they were equal last week and you just noticed it, then you should be examined, especially if either pupil does not decrease in size when you shine a bright light into it.

Answer 6

means nothing, all parts of your body are different sizes, eg feet arms legs b***s, eyes

Answer 7

You might have a brain tumor. Go get it checked.
