Hey, I'm about 8 months removed from my AN surgery and I'm doing well. I'm starting to feel normal again. I still have some issues but for the most part I'm doing well. Next month I'm getting my facial surgery dealing with my hypoglossel nerve so I'm looking forward to getting that over with and that will be my last surgery. However, one thing is still bothering me. And that's my left pupil. It's still very dilated and if it's really sunny out its hard for me to see as my eye is very sensitive to the light. My doctors don't seem to know why it's dilated or what caused it. Does anyone else have this problem or know of anyone that has. Its really annoying going outside and not being able to look straight ahead because of the sun.

Do you have a scopolomine (sp?) patch? My husband changed my patch and then scratched his eye. After a scary trip to the emergency room, we learned that the patch can cause one eye to dialate. Although I do not remember one of my eyes to be dialated, my left eye would not move in tandem with my left eye, causing double vision for months. Fun stuff.

Nope no patch, it's been like this since the day after surgery but no one knows why it it, it's frustrating. It's not unbearable just extremely annoying

I have not noticed any unilateral eye dilation differences, but I have been sensitive to sunlight too since my surgery. It just seems to bright!

My pupil has been dilated since my second surgery. Some days seem better than others, but for two months now and I can say that my right pupil has been larger left, 'non-surgery' eye.
