Pupil more dilated in one eye
Hi, I got barrage laser done for retinal holes 2 weeks back in both eyes. After that I got an allergic infection which was treated but doctor noticed my one pupil is slightly more dilated than other, but she suggested to wait it out. Yesterday i got the retina checked again so was dilated. Retina and everything looks good. Doctor said pupil will return in 6 hours this time. But again its bigger in one same eye than the other. What can be the reason that my pupil is not returning to original? Is it a serious issue? should I get it checked again? Please let me know as I'm really worried to this weird thing. Thank you!

Since you are myopic...it may take a little more time for the pupil to come back to the original size.If there are no vision problems or any other symptoms,can wait even for 2 weeks.

Sometimes one eye has slightly bigger pupil than other and if it has strong receptor the dilating drops will take longer time to wean off.
If you are myopic it might be slightly bigger and can take long for effect to wear off.
