Tadpole pupil

Tadpole pupil

I have developed Tadpole Pupil in both eyes. It seems to be transient, Creepy though. Can't seem to get any answers as to why I have it and can I stop it. Mine does not look like a elongated object my pupils are moving into the edge of the iris perfectly round. Anybody out there?

tadpole pupil by definition is not round.  if your pupils are round, you do not have tadpole pupil.

no "transient" pupil size change is dangerous.  even if you think its "creepy".

Thank you for your info. My Nuero Opthamologist called it that. So what ii it. The size of the pupil does not change just the position. I was told by my Nuerologist that it was impossible and to get pictures. We did. So if you know what is wrong I would greatly appreciate anything you have to offer.

it is impossible for your pupil to become laterally displaced without changing shape.  so i agree with your neuro there.  that cant happen.

again, *NO* "transient" pupil size change is dangerous.  *THE ONLY* dangerous pupil size changes are permanent ones.

so... you're asking me "what is it?"...and i am telling you that i dont know.  no one does, b/c what you're describing is pretty much not clinically possible.

I have close up pictures would you like to see? I show the transition of movement from the center to the edge. So like it or not it is happening and other people have seen it. My vision washes out and they are trying to fiqure out why. I have history of third nerve palsey from a surgery that recovered. I was left with diplopia that started to chage in ranges two years ago. It happens everyday now and it is creepy to see in the mirror. What is worse is that no one knows what it is............
