zoloft and pupil dilation

I just read a post here from 1999! It asks if Zoloft could be the cause of uneven pupil dilation. I started taking Zoloft in 1998 and quit because it was causing my pupils to dilate and no one knew why. I have since read that this can be the result of taking too much. So I went back to Zoloft after many years and got a better result on a lower dose. Meanwhile, I found that most all the SSRIs thatI took - Effexor, Cymbalta, Lexipro - caused some dilation in my pupils. As for uneven dilation, I certainly do get that as well, which is the very reason that I googled this forum tonight! I'd sure like to know the correlation between seratonin and pupil dilation.
