I thought I would post a picture of my son's eye. One pupil is larger than the other. I posted in here the other day. This is the older post. I hope that the pic is big enough. It's not the best resolution because there is a red-eye issue but you can get a general sense of how one pupil is slightly larger than the other.
Hello
My son is 2 months old. He was born with a brokenBroken bone Broken or knocked out tooth blood vessel in each eye (his right eye had a bigger red line within it than the left). It was a very fast deliveryC-section Delivery presentations Infant care following delivery. The other day I noticed that his right eye has a slightly larger pupil than his left. It is more noticable in a dimly lit room. Because of the natureNature-throid Natures tears of material on the web associated with this issue, I immediately contacted my optometrist who told me not to worry and that he would look at his eye next week when I am scheduled to see him. So, is he right? Should I not worry?
The picture is poor quality and I can't tell anything. As I said before the child needs to see an ophthalmologist not an optometrist. Discuss with your pediatrician.
