There are many things that can dilate the pupil of the eye. First of all, light plays a huge factor. Also, if there are unknown, alien substances in your body, such as drugs, that is also a pupil dilator. Also, if you have recently suffered a concussion, your pupils might be dilated for a while. Pupils also dilate when focusing on different planes of vision, as well as different distances.
One eye may still be dilated after an eye doctor appointment due to differences in pupil responses between the eyes, individual variations in pupil sensitivity to dilation drops, or underlying eye conditions that affect pupil dilation. It is important to follow up with the eye doctor if the dilation persists or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
The iris, specifically the muscles within it, control the size of the pupil. Contraction and relaxation of these muscles regulate the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the diameter of the pupil.
If one pupil is dilated and the other is not, it could indicate a neurological issue or injury, such as a brain injury or stroke. It is important to seek medical attention immediately to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
My experience is that it constricts them, making your pupils look like pin dots.
No, after death the pupils do not adjust for light. The muscles that control the pupil's diameter require a functional nervous system, which is no longer active after death. Therefore, the pupils remain fixed at a dilated position.
The pupil was very smart and well behaved in class.
The better to see that which is frightening you. In emergency situations, you want to be as well informed as possible.
Dilacid is not a word. Dilated means how much the cervix (or womb) has opened. Dilated pupil means that there is a disease of the eye, which is basically caused by slimming down of the dilator muscle of the iris.
When an architect makes blueprints for a house those blueprints are later dilated by construction workers. When someone is constantly itching their eye their pupil gets dilated. Hope that helps! :)
A blown pupil usually refers to a pupil that is completely dilated and no longer responding to light. A blown pupil (also called 'fixed and dilated') is when one or both of the pupils are large and do not respond (constrict) to light. Possible causes may include trauma to the eye, brain injury, pressure or trauma to the optic nerve. Often used in medical drama shows when diagnosing someone who has no brain activity - basically brain dead, but the two are not inextricably inked.
fixed pupil- n. A pupil that is unresponsive to stimuli.

The phrase that means that someone's pupils contract when a bright light is shone into their eyes is "pupils reactive" ... they react to the light. If they don't react to the light, they'd be described as "pupils fixed and dilated."

I am an adult and I started to take Ritalin 4 days ago. Usually I have dilated pupil, but with Ritalin they are quite constricted. I looked around in my text books and it is supposed to be the opposite to pupil are supposed to be more dilated. I also took effexor last month and my pupils were extra dilated (almost completely black). Yep I am not a professional, but it is very strange. Nevertheless even if with Ritalin my pupils are constricted my eye are very sensitive to light. My own theory will be that in some person Ritalin will increase the eye sensibility to light and than limit the amount by closing the pupil. Makes sense for me but I will still look around.

It either means you're on drugs or you are attracted to that person
