Dilated Eyes

by LG0526, Sep 30, 2008 05:00PM
My pupils get extremely dilated.  This is a fairly new condition that has developed and is not related to taking/not taking medicine or light.  I don't do drugs either.  When my pupils get very dilated I am always in a well lit area and has happened before when my blood pressure was high.  Could these two things be related?   What could cause my pupils to dilate for no reason at all?  

I have been told that I will likely have macular degeneration in the future because of a test that I had done at the eye doctor.  Could this be the reason for the dilation?

HBP will not cause dilated pupils.   Pupils get big in the dark, when angry or excited, due to drops or some medications, during some types of migraines, with head trauma.

See a ophthalmologist Eye MD to work through the causes.   Find one at www.aao.org
