Anisocoria
Anisocoria is a medical condition characterized by unequal pupil sizes. It is a common condition, occurring in approximately 20% of the population. Anisocoria can be a normal variant, or it can be a sign of a medical condition that requires treatment.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Anisocoria can be caused by a variety of conditions. These include:
Diagnosis[edit | edit source]
The diagnosis of anisocoria is made by a healthcare provider who will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination. The examination will include a detailed examination of the eyes, including the use of a slit lamp to examine the front part of the eye.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
The treatment of anisocoria depends on the underlying cause. If the anisocoria is caused by a medical condition, such as Horner's syndrome or third nerve palsy, treatment will be directed at the underlying condition. If the anisocoria is caused by a pharmacological agent, the agent may need to be discontinued.
Prognosis[edit | edit source]
The prognosis for anisocoria depends on the underlying cause. In many cases, anisocoria is a benign condition that does not require treatment. However, in some cases, anisocoria can be a sign of a serious medical condition that requires treatment.
