my left eye does is not dilating right

Recently I had my usual eye exam, and my dr. is referring me to a specialist to see why my left eye is not dilating like its supposed to.  What could this mean? He has told me that sometimes its a warning sign for a brain tumor and I'm worried becaause I know nothing about what it could mean, are there other reasons my eye why my eye may not be dilating like it should. It seems somtimes like my memory is short alot but I don't have magor headahes and other wise seem very healthy, also I do have tremors could that be affecting my eye. Thanks alot, any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Dear jess110106,

There are many causes of pupil problems from very serious to physiologic.  A complete work up is warranted by an eyeMD.  The doctor will want to examine your pupils in dim light, bright light and may do certain tests to determine whether they dilate with topical medication.
