Eyes are blessings of God
to human beings, to see the most alluring things of the world. The various
parts in an eye like- pupil, retina, iris helps us in seeing different and
beautiful objects. The pupil is the black circle in the
center of the eye which determines the amount of light that enters the eye. The
pupils of the eyes are usually the same size but, if, in case they are of
different sizes then you might be having Anisocoria.
Anisocoria is a condition where the
pupil of one eye differs in size from the pupil of the other eye. It usually has
no effect on the overall health of the eyes. It is a common condition, with as
many as one in five people having some degree of difference in the size of
their pupils.
However, anisocoria can also be a symptom of a serious eye
disorder, including third nerve cranial nerve palsy and Horner’s syndrome. Both
are nervous system disorders that can occur when nerves that travel to the eye
are damaged by a stroke, tumor or trauma. Anisocoria can also result from a
viral infection, syphilis, surgical damage, and or another condition affecting
the pupil called Adie’s tonic pupil.
It
can be caused due to many reasons like- skull fractures, brain tumor, eye
emergencies of any kind, shaken baby syndrome, glaucoma, low blood sugar.
However, if you have anisocoria then you will generally have symptoms
related to that disorder. This eye disorder symptoms may include:
- Drooping eyelid
- Reduced eye movement
- Eye pain
- Fever
- Headache
- Reduced sweating
Anisocoria
doesn’t affect the eyesight or the health of the eyes, so there is no need for
treatment. If anisocoria is related to
another eye disorder, treatment will depend on the cause.
