Dilated pupil

Ok I have alot of people asking me why my left pupils is dilated and my right one is normal. Well, to be honest I don't know why so I don't know what to tell them. Some say I'm on drugs, some say I'm crazy ... other people ask me if I have problems reading but I'm good, I can see and read very well. So I made some research about dilated pupils and saw some people on youtube who can voluntarily dilate their pupils ... I don't know how but their pupils keep on getting bigger and bigger. I heard the story that if you see a person you like very much your pupils dilate. Anybody knows how can I get my pupils at the same size ?

Hmm I know that when I go to the eye dr they do some checks and use eye drops that dialate my pupils! Other than that though the only other thing I know that causes dilation of pupils is the change in light. This doesn't sound like that could be it though because it's just one eye..hmm I would definitely contact your eye doctor and maybe just ask his/her opinion. You may be able to ask over the phone without going in for an appointment!

Yes I heard that light can increase / decrease the size of the pupil. I will go see a doctor as soon as possible. Thank you for your time answering.

I don't know, but if it is something that is bothering you, or causing you irritation then I would suggest you go see a GP, and see if there is anything that they can do for you

Nothing bothering at all just that people keep tell me that one pupil is bigger then the other.

Have you ever had a concision? This will cause this sometimes. There are other medical issues that can cause this as well, some of them quite serious. I would have a doctor check it for you in case it is a sign of something that needs to be taken care of right away.

No I never had a concision. I think I will go see a medic but first I wanted to know if there can be something done by myself since I've seen alot of people doing crazy things with their eyes ... but I don't want to go to far.

If I were you I would go and visit your doctor. It may not be impairing you, but this could be something that will depleate your vision in the future.
