I woke up this morning with my usual dry eyes, so I used my usual eye drops, and continued to put my contacts in. About 1/2 later I went to read a piece of paper and my left eye seemed blurry, so I asumed thier was something one my contact and changed it.

After I changed my contact, thier was no difference in the blurryness, and I noticed while I was changing my contact that my left pupil was more dilated than the right. I also felt alot of pressure in my head, dizzy, and confusion.

At this point I really didn't know what to think other than to wait it out, and see if the strange symptoms go away. Well...after a couple hours my eyes started to dilate in sync. and I was able to read again. However I still feel pressure in my head, and dizzy, tired, and shaky.

I am not sure if I should be concerned enough about this to ask the doctor, so I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this?

I don't do drugs, alcohol, not on any meds other than amoxicillin for a tooth infection which is almost gone.

If anyone can, please advise me on this, thank you

" You might run it by your family Doc...the dizziness and confusion kinda have me worried about a stroke...could be like early warning signs.

The tooth infection, well that can get towards your heart and cause an infection in your heart...

Don't want to worry you or scare you...but I would go see your family Doc and run it by him...

Those are just the worst case scenarios...Could be nothing much...but better safe than sorry, KWIM??

Good Luck! "

" Call your Doc ASAP - any time your pupil dialates differently than normal it means something is wrong! Make sure it's not life threatening! "

" Hi, bleeding!!!!
I kind of Googled around and came across 'Adies Pupil'. Plug that into Google and take a look.
Do that, AND go to a doctor!!!!!! That's just too potentially dangerous a symptom to just brush off!!! "
