One pupil larger than the other

5 Replies

I was just wondering if there is anybody out there with a diagnosis of FND with one pupil larger than the other and pupils having 'sluggish' responses as a symptom?

This would be something to talk to your neurologist about, just to rule out something serious. It's possible that one eye is being a bit more sluggish than the other. It could be FND, it could be something else. I've not heard of this specifically with FND, but it seems to me that FND manifests itself as any part of the brain not functioning at full capacity when 'it' decides that it's overloaded and wants to shut down. A lot of us have poor reflex actions in other areas, so why not here too!

I have been told I do by a paramedic before. I would still get this checked out though

Amongst a whole load of other things I am experiencing eye problems as well. My eyes appear to be jittering fast from side to side which makes me feel sick and dizzy. Also at night time I've temporarily lost the sight in my right eye. An optician has said I don't have nystagmus but do have some tremor in there and may have some loss of blood supply, so recommending further specialist tests on my eyes. It's not pleasant what we go through, but so far the suggestion is it's all part of the FND

Over the year's people looked at my pupils and they were dilated which we thought was a sign of my epilepsy was not good, but when my pupils are small it was ok.. So I always had my family and friend's looking at my eye's now we don't know if it's my epilepsy or FND
