dilated pupil

by mercer123, Jul 27, 2008 03:56PM
I have had a dilated pupil since surgery for retinal detachment 3 months ago.  I have been told by opthamologists that this may be permanent, or it may improve over time; likely the sphincter muscles that control pupillary constriction were damaged by all of the laser done during the surgery, or due to a complication from the gas bubble which pushed my newly replaced lens forward of the iris  (I had a second surgery to correct this).  Has anyone had a dilated pupil after surgery which subsequently returned to normal, or nearly normal?  Thanks.
