My understanding is that most unilateral mydriasis is due to something benign, but it can appear concerning because it can also indicate stroke or traumatic brain injury.

Hmm… idk honestly I don’t think I’ve had a stroke or brain injury, it was just weird when it happened my eye got really dry I went to the bathroom to put some eye drops in and I noticed my eye like this

I went to a walk in facility for this, they said I was about to have a stroke. Went to the er had a bad spinal tap that was an entire other issue. Either way I had thrown my electrolytes off and ended up spending a week in the hospital do to the bad spinal tap.

Negative. Usually is indicative of TBI or hemhorragic stroke. Very rarely it's normal - condition called anisocoria. And it's usually not to the extent of OP's

What does the other dimension look like?

It was great lol saw dragons and unicorns

Yea.... Definitely want to check that out. I didn't realize I had hypertensive retinopathy until I got a scan. Now I'm on meds to control my blood pressure and my retinas are healed last time I went to the doctor

Rock Star eye! David Bowie...

Came here to say this

David Bowie eyes were like that from a head injury.

I have a permanent condition where my Left pupil is shaped like a upside teardrop and I'm nearly blind in that eye it's called coloboma I've seen one person that had the same condition I do with a pupil like that a full circle

Wow that’s wild I’ve never heard of anything like that before! Did you always have it or did it slowly get worse? And I’m sorry to hear about that

[удалено]

My friends pupil isn't shaped like that but it is off center and he is essentially blind in that eye as well.

bro you been using the mangekyou too much

I got stitches once and the doctor said if I saw this, then go to Hospital. Something about internal bleeding

Yes a hemorrhagic stroke.

Yeah thankfully no bleeding, been ok since, I haven’t had any eye surgeries or anything that might’ve cause it, it’s just my eye was really dry for about 2 days then it got a little worse then my eye got really dilated for a few hours went to work and joked to my boss that I did cocaine and it only effected my left side of my body and then it kinda went away by the end of the night

Are you absolutely certain you didn't hit your head

Whoever told you not to worry about will soon be harvesting your mature Byakugan

Hey mate, not saying it is.

Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.

Yesss lol

I have this. Google Horner's Syndrome. I got it as the result of a dissected carotid artery, which is the main cause of stroke in relatively young people (and it can happen pretty randomly - I'm in my 50s). If I were you, I would definitely go get yourself checked out. I'm on medication and the artery can heal itself within about six months if I'm lucky, but if it isn't treated it can lead to brain aneurysm or more sever symptoms.

This is how a girl I know found out she had a dissecting carotid artery as well. This is very serious. She was eventually diagnosed with EDS.

Concussion? Did you fall or bump your head?

No wasn’t a concussion or anything major I think it was something called mydriasis which is relatively harmless just uncomfortable

Looks like you have a concussion.

It wasn’t a concussion or anything major I think it was something called mydriasis which is relatively harmless just uncomfortable

Dropped half a pill.

My wife had something similar at 1pm. Saw the doctor at 3pm and was having emergency surgery on her eye by 7pm

Definitely doctor territory. I have a blown pupil caused by a traumatic brain injury, and whenever I see a new optician they always spaz out about it and make extra sure to check everything in that eye, so it's kinda a big deal.

this happened to a friend. turns out she has a brain aneurysm. genetic. her sister had them as well. both had brain surgery and must be monitored for life.

Hi! I am certified ophthalmologist Assistsnt so not huge on the medical food chain but have worked in retina and general for 7 years now. You could’ve had a stroke and never known, there are also other neurological problems that cause this Anisocoria. I would go see an ophthalmologist asap. This can usually be a symptom of a larger problem.

Looks like your right eye has the issue

If he has it mirrored (which is default for selfie camera), his left eye would be on the left.

Right lol no my right eye better not have any issues lol that’s my good one

Looks like Iritis to me. I've had it. My wife just had it. You'll want to see a doctor about it and get it diagnosed as it can lead to vision loss if uncorrected and it's a really bad case. Couple of drops a day for a few weeks and you'll likely be fine, but don't take chances with your vision. Typically triggered by runaway inflammation (the itching you had to start might have been mild allergies and they just triggered this). See a doctor.

[удалено]

Does it effect your vision?

Yeah it was weird, because in my right eye it was fine but if I looked through my left eye it’s like someone took the saturation slider on photoshop and turned it up also it had a weird green tint that I wasn’t expecting I like to think it was because the color of my eyes but idk

dude has some weird ass sharingan

I had a friend that this happened to. However, it turned out to be a brain aneurism that took his life a day later.

This happened to me once. I was struggling with my contacts for months but insisted on continuing to wear them. Eyes were feeling super irritated one morning about an hour after i put them in and looked in the mirror and my one pupil was just rank dilated just like yours. Obv took them out, saw an eye doctor, he figured it was just irritation and dryness from the lenses. It took about half a day to go back to normal.

you're seeing a doc right? That's also a sign of a stroke. My father had the same eye issue. Dropped dead a week later of a bigger stroke

EMT here. This is something to worry about. Unless you were told specifically by a doctor who examined you that it was something else, this is usually a big red flag for us. If you haven’t seen a doctor, I highly suggest you do.

You have David Bowie eyes. But he for his from getting punched by a bully.

It was his friend, they were fighting over a girl.

I thought he said he got poked by a stick fighting another kid over a girl?

my guy got the right part of his face stuck in the backrooms

there's a staaaaaarrrr maaaaannnnnn

Just out of curiosity- did you use eye drops in just one eye? I had this happen a few times and I realized that it was only the eye I put Visine-A in.

My eyes do this when I get them dilated at the eye doctor. Tripped me out the first time I saw it, looked like cartoon character eyes.

My moms pupils never match in size but it’s from a car wreck in her 20’s

Guys we found Grindelwald

That happened to me on bad acid once lol…

Something similar happened to my ex wife about 15 years ago, she still has a bung eye from it.

So to be clear: you haven’t seen a doctor about this?

Same thing happened to me in the hospital! It was because I had touched the nausea medication patch behind my ear and then rubbed my eye

Dude got to a doctor or neurologist large dialated pupils (pupil in your case) is a sign of some kind of head trauma

Unless your eye drops specifically cause pupil dilation you need to go to the doctor right away and show them this picture.

Hey, you might have damage to your oculomotor nerve, an important cranial nerve for dilating the pupil, focusing on objects, and eye muscle movement. CN III does originate from your midbrain and it’s uncommon to have a problem there. You really need to get this checked out by a doctor, it might not be uncomfortable but it’s likely a symptom of a bigger problem.

Please see an actual doctor about this

Its the terminator

Now say I’ll be back!

Dude why are you posting here instead of going to the hospital? it could be something serious.

Half meth

Must’ve forgotten how to zoom out. Try a soft restart on your cyberdeck. If that doesn’t work you may need to visit a ripperdoc for the faulty cyberwear

Dude I'd get that looked at.

Ah yeah, this is what happens when you only take half a tab

Go to a dr. This isnt like having a swollen eye for no reason, one eye dialated and one not is a big cause for concern

Just FYI for everybody, if you see this, go to the Emergency pronto to get checked out. If it nothing, then you are good, or it could be you only warning of a possible life-altering brain event.

Your eye is probably ok. Your brain is not.

If Professor X knocks on your door, answer...your time is coming!

When you drop a half tab

You need to get that checked if you haven't already.

You should definitely see a doctor. Could be a sign of stroke.

Honey go to the Dr just in case somethin is wrong!

Does anyone smell burned toast?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE TAKING A PIC OF TOUR EYEBROWS AHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK MY MIND IS SCRATCHED

You feeling fine does not mean you are fine. Go to the doctor.

I have this permanently to a lesser degree! One pupil noticeably larger than the other. I was told it’s something called Aides.. I sniggered like a mature adult too!

This is a sign of a neurological issue. Go to the dr NOW.

Hey OP, if you haven’t already please get an X-ray of your head. Something like this could be a tumor

I have this! Mine is due to a stupid benign neurological condition called Holmes-Adie syndrome. It just appeared when I was 29. My dad has it too.

O_o

A blown pupil is not normally ok.

That’s a optical stoke bro get an mri

Did an ER doc tell you it's fine and nothing to worry about?

You should definitely see an ophthalmologist and probably your primary dr. Get a Ct scan and MRI.

Really fucking awesome idk why

Might be iritis. If you are really photosensitive, you probably should get checked out by a Dr. Unless you are an American, in which case you probably can't afford it.

Op has to be American. Something like this happens anywhere else you would be straight to the ER. America nah it’s fine nothing to worry about I don’t have $20k to spare right now anyway.

Yeah pretty much I can’t afford any more medical bills but after reading a bunch of these comments I’ll be going to the doctor just in case

Man you look like you just came out of a cartoon

I had this happen with a particularly nasty iritis. Part of the iris stuck to the lens. I was seeing fireworks with my eyes closed at night and light hurt like a knife.

You were possessed by the ghost of David Bowie

Lol! I've got a rare eye disease that was diagnosed 6 months ago and I was prescribed several different eye drops. I woke up the next day and saw the same thing. One was a tiny dot the other VERY large pupil.

Bowie's eyes!

Did you go to a doctor?

That’s what happened to David Bowie’s eyes after he got into a fight with his college roommate.

Go the park grab some lady hand and say "your time is up!" Stare at her for a good minute .

My dad had this, but it was intentionally caused by special eyedrops, because he injured his eye and for some reason needed to enlarge his pupils?

Wow! Same thing happened to me. Except I had brain abscesses. I’m glad yours is nothing to worry about!

David Bowie had this. He got into fight at school and bam. Permanent one eye diluted.

you miiiightt wanna set an appointment with a doctor

Do you have any night shades on your property and if so were you doing any gardening on them and then touched your eye without realizing it? I have seen several nightshades dilate eyes like this.

That's why I just take the full tab of acid

You’re turning

The clinic I work out had a patient come in with this. It freaked out the NPs a bit.

One of them looks like me the first time I tried molly. lol.

Looks like some anime powerup

A little Bowie action right there.

Mmmmmmmm.... says the individual clearly possessed......

you mean your right eye?

You've got a bowie!!!

My eyes get like this when tripping on psilocybin lol

I got Lyme disease and was part of the 18% to develop permanent side effects. Half my face is partially paralyzed from Bell's Palsy; I can half smile and half my mouth moves when talking, I also slur my words sometimes, and my eye has overactive tear ducts. It closes and opens slower than the other and I can no longer do the Dwayne Johnson eyebrow wiggle.

4K dolby vision activated

It's like your eye drops had an anaesthetic in them.

Now develop your musical skills and become the next David Bowie!

This has literally happened to me. I went to an ophthalmologist immediately though because I convinced myself I had an aneurysm, turns out it was an ocular migraine. It took about two days to go back to normal

Which eye was the dry one the one with the bigger or smaller pupil?

We take our eyeballs for granted.

I was going to make a funny but all joking aside, you really should go see an optometrist. It could be the beginning of a neurological disorder, and those are definitely nothing to balk at. Research whats called Adie syndrome and it's symptoms, it could help to know even if you feel that you're"doin' fine".

OH MY GOD!

Naruto niggas walking around with different eyes be like:

Anisocoria - it's weird but it can be normal for some people. For anyone without that condition, it's pretty bad news bears indicative of a significant head injury or hemhorragic stroke

Seems like the Sharingan runs in your family

So, Op mydriasis vocabulary just means pupil dilation. It can happen for a variety of reasons.. anisocoria is what you have, which is one pupil being dilated (mydriasis) and one pupil constricted (miosis). Anisocoria is often but not always a sign of increased intracranial pressure.

Weirdest thing about this is you're ginger

Any medication before the mydriasis? Scopolamine patch would be one possible culprit. If the cause isn’t known this should definitely be examined further.

My pupils look like your large one all the time! I was struggling to find out which eye was the problem haha

I had that a lot a few years back. It would come and go quickly, like 5 mins. I even went for a mri scan, but yeah, same, nothing wrong.

David Bowie over here says he's fine. Also, a condition I deal with. Mine is due to a concussion. Occasionally my right eye doesn't dilate properly. I'll walk around with it closed for a while and it usually self corrects.

Whoa. Did you have any ear pain, by chance? Sometimes ear infections can cause this

Half an xtc pill effects:

Ey you got the David Bowie thing

I heard it may be because of a concussion

I’ve had this happen twice, I’ve been told it can be a sign of migraines. I feel like I’m fine, it happened about 3-4 years ago.

Very David Bowie.

You are very clearly a cat

You must have got punched in the eye ziggy stardust

You just got bowied

You know like david bowie

I know David Bowie had this but it was permanent for him. I believe he got hit in head or something as a kid.

Bro's really

Did you pop half a molly?

😳

I once had a branch pop right into my eye when walking in a forest. The result was a fine tear in that eye and the pupil was tiny while my other pupil was normal. After a few days it all recovered as if nothing ever happened. I love biology!

Well mydriasis is not really a diagnosis. It just means an enlarged pupil. The actual condition is anisocoria. There are definitely scary things that can cause that. An eye doctor could run tests and tell you it’s okay. Truly, though, they need to have checked your pupils in the light and dark. And obviously if drugs or drops are involved that is a factor. But scary stuff.

Kinda cool!

Go write Space Oddity or something

Eye drops cause dilation at times.

Go to a doctor.

That happened to me once when my mother let me use her Visine drops, except she switched the white cap with the red-capped liquid to dilate your eyes. My right eye was fully dilated for a month and a half. I walked into work and they threatened to call the squad on me before I demonstrated I was not, in fact, having a stroke.

Okay buddy ...we all know the trick...spoon head

Scopolamine?

You are becoming the new David Bowie !

It’s ye right eye, whats se dilated.

Dont worry, people have always asynchron irises when they have died... oh, wait. Better worry.

You're going to die.

I would assume his optic nerve has been damaged or pinched and he should go see an optometrist asap because that's not normal

Next time take the whole tab.

rabies? go todoctor who tf knows

Looks a bit more than nothing.

your pupils can become like that when you have a brain tumor that is pressing on the vision nerves. ive had a brain tumor. you should check that up if you havent

Do you have a head injury?

Bad luck brian: Nothing to worry about. Also bad luck brian: Has terminal cancer.

Something shorted inside your brain bruh!

This happens when ever I take mushies or acid after I bumped my head

My wife worked in a home for people with brain injuries and got some sort of medication/gel in her eye she was administering. That is exactly the same as what her eye looked like. Had to take her to the hospital to get checked out but wasn't to serious. Had to wear an eye patch for a few days. I couldn't even look at her eye she looked like a terminator.

Bro looks like a crazy cartoon character

Mad Eye Moody!

Huh, like David Bowie

Uh huh... whatever you say... PROFESSOR SCREWEYES!

I just had my right ear bitten and inflamed. To the point of the right side of my face going numb af. Nothing to worry about

That looks terrifying. My meds sometimes cause me dilated pupils and very slow reaction to light. Makes me look like a druggie :/

Damn cool eye

That’s some David Bowie action there

o_0

were you smoking the devils lettuce?

This happen to me also not to long ago, gave me a headache Edit: i went to the doctors and they couldnt find anything that was causing it.

Looks like Horner’s or a brain lesion.

Syphilis is very treatable these days

I think you may have had stroke.

This happened to me in high school when I tried to substitute my contact solution for one eye with eye drops.

Congratulations, you now have David Bowie-eyes :) He didn't have heterochromia, he just had different size pupils :)

That's what happens when you only take half...

Left is me on a weekend, right is during the week.

Sir, I'm gonna need you to step out of the car.

My eyes do this about 80% of the time, especially in bright or slow strobing light. Had a serious injury to my right eye in highschool and the pupil to this day is out of sync, so to speak, with my left. Most people think it's cool.

I had this happen to me after someone threw a stone at my face hitting my eye socket pretty hard (I'm glad it wasn't directly at my eye lol) went to the hospital and they gave me some eye drops and my eye was like this for a bit, after it settled down my eye permanently changed colour from a bluey-green to more of a grey, my eyesight is fine though.

Jerome Valeska lookin ass
