Yes, having one large pupil, known as anisocoria, can indicate an underlying eye disorder or neurological issue. While it can be a benign condition in some cases, it may also suggest problems such as nerve damage, trauma, or certain medical conditions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation if you notice a significant difference in pupil size.

How many pupil are in an eye?
There is one pupil in each eye. The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris that allows light to enter the eye. Its size can change depending on the lighting conditions to regulate the amount of light entering the eye.
How do you compare the shape of the pupil in a dissected eye with our own pupil?
There are many ways to compare the shape of the pupil in a dissected eye with our own pupil. One is to examine general diameter.
How do you compare the shape of the pupil in the dissected eye with your own eye?
There are many ways to compare the shape of the pupil in the dissected eye with your own eye. One is to look for the similarities.
What happens to the pupil when you cover one eye?
When you cover one eye, the pupil of the uncovered eye will dilate to allow more light in, enhancing visual sensitivity in low-light conditions. Conversely, the covered eye’s pupil may constrict slightly due to the reduced light input. This adjustment helps the uncovered eye compensate for the loss of input from the covered eye, maintaining overall visual acuity.
Where does the contact lens sit?
The left one goes in the left eye and the right one goes in the right eye... ;)
Why would one eye still be dilated after an eye doctor appointment?
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.
What is the consensual reflex of the pupil?
The consensual reflex of the pupil is the simultaneous constriction of the pupil in both eyes when light is shone into one eye. This reflex is controlled by the autonomic nervous system to regulate the amount of light entering the eye and protect the retina.
If your week old kitten has brown eyes is he blind?
No! As long as the kitten's eye looks normal and has a pupil then it's fine. I have a semi-feral kitten who is blind in one eye. His eye is completley gray with no pupil. The kitten and his brother have brown eyes, apart from the blind eye which is gray! :P
When a light is shone into one eye what happens to the pupil of the other eye?
When light is shone into one eye, the pupillary light reflex causes both pupils to constrict simultaneously due to the connection between the two eyes. This is known as a consensual response and helps to regulate the amount of light entering both eyes.
What is a double pupil?
A double pupil is a condition a person may be born with. There is a smaller pupil or opening adjacent to the normal pupil. It is still located within the iris and does not affect one's vision. This in old times was known as a "witch's eye". Thank you, Matt E.
What does the ciliospinal reflex do to the pupil of the eye?
The pupil dilates when stimulated by the pinching on the nape of the neck.
What is a homograph for pupil?
Oh, dude, a homograph for "pupil" is like when you have the word "pupil" meaning a student's eye part, and then you also have "pupil" meaning a student. It's like a two-for-one deal with words. So, yeah, homographs are basically twins in the word world.
