Pupil size

I have noticed my pupil size is sometimes quite large before putting in eye drops - then becomes noticeably smaller afterwards (this seems to be an effect of the drops not a change in lighting) - any other similar experience or thoughts - should I be worried about this?

You do not mention the name of the drops you are using. If it is Pilocarpine, it will constrict the pupil to widen the drainage channel.

Not what you're looking for?
