Has anybody got Holmes Adie (Tonic pupils) in both eyes?

When I first got eyeinflammations 25 years ago, I ended up with a blocked tear ducts, no feeling on the outside of my eyeballs and two dilated pupils that don't become smaller in bright light. The latter is called Holmes-Adie Syndrome, Adie pupil or tonic pupil. It usually affects just one eye. Unusually, I have this in both my eyes which is much rarer. At the time I was told it was not connected to Behçet's but since then, cases have shown there may be a link between the tonic pupils and Behcets Disease and or autoimmune conditions.

Symptoms are my prescription or reading and middle distance has jumped up quite a bit and bright lights bother me. Treatment given was pilocarpine eye drops to shrink pupils but it made my brow stiff and cramped.

I'm just curious to see if anyone has had Holmes-Adie pupils? I'm not too bothered by mine, just wanted to see if folk had a double dose of Adie pupil,

So,
