Hello Vickie

I’ve looked this one up for you. The clinical term is Anisocoria ( unequal pupils).

It can be linked to ms and also a few other conditions. It can also occur in people who suffer with headaches/migraine.

Its a recognised condition, so I’m sure your neuro and gp will be able to reassure you that something can be done about it.

Hope this as helped a bit

This is really interesting…I had my eyes tested in August due to sudden blurred vision and pain in one eye and the optician told me that one of my pupils was slightly larger than the other one. He didn’t think this was anything to worry about, but I’m now wondering if it is more significant than he made out (the larger one is the eye with which I have the pain and blurred vsion). He confirmed that some of my eye symptoms are definitely neurological and not optical, so I’m wondering if this is too.

Thanks for the link, Anonymous! I think I shall just mention it in passing to the Neuro when I see him.
