Biographical Info:
Anisocoria is a condition characterized by unequal pupil sizes in an individual's eyes. It can be a normal variation, present in about 20% of the population, or it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. Causes of anisocoria range from benign factors, such as natural variations in pupil size, to more serious issues like neurological disorders, eye injuries, infections, or the use of certain medications. Symptoms may include noticeable differences in pupil size, vision changes, or eye discomfort. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough eye examination and possibly imaging tests to identify the underlying cause. Treatment depends on the cause of anisocoria and may involve addressing the underlying condition, monitoring the pupil size over time, or specific medical or surgical interventions if necessary.
