PUPIL RESPONSIVE BUT NOT CONSTRICTING PROPERLY

[DrAsad]

Hello sir , How are you , I hope you are enjoying your good health .. 10 days back , i had 360 degree prophylactic argon laser therapy on my retina due to development of small retinal holes, everything is fine now , except im having problems with focussing from the EYE after laser,I thrown light into my eyes and noticed that the eye which is treated is having large pupil and on light reflex it responds to light but pupil doesnt constrict 100 percent , it constricts like about 60 percent & it responds immediately to light,there is no delay, After the laser i thought this could be due to drops they used to dilate my eyes,but now it has been 10 days almost , and i m having the same situation , I cannot focus properly from that eye and when light is throw it doesnt constrict properly...MY QUESTION IS : DO THE EFFECT OF DROPS LAST FOR MORE THAN A WEEK EVEN IF THEY USED ATROPINE ,
SECONDLY , ARE THERE CHANCES OF DAMAGE TO LONG & SHORT CILIARY NERVES WITH ARGON LASER EVEN IF LASER CERCLAGE IS DONE ???

PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE , THANKS !

Is there any chance of damage to pupillary nerves ??

I do not treat small retinal holes in lattice.  The risk out weight the benefits.

There might be damage to the pupillary muscles.
