Question:
What would be the problem if one eye pupil is smaller than the other?
My sons right eye is smaller than his left eye. Born two months ago. Is he able to see on both eyes?
Answers:
Anisocoria is when one pupil is larger than the other. If the pupil is able to enlarge and constrict and the difference between pupils is not significant, then one pupil being larger than the other is not likely to be a problem.
If the pupil is not responsive and does not constrict or enlarge, this could be a sign of a more serious problem. Your son should be evaluated by an eye doctor and a general physician.
During the first several years of life your son's vision is developing. It will be very important for your doctors to affirm that your son is using both eyes as development of vision will depend upon the brain not rejecting information from one eye. This will be a relatively simple test and if there is a concern, patching one eye and forcing the brain to use the other eye may be the resolution.
Based upon the information you have provided and assuming your child continues to receive adequate eye and physical care, it does not seem likely that your child will have vision limitation.
