Hello, My son was recently seen for his first eye exam. The examination assistant noticed he had one pupil larger than the other in the very dim light of the exam room, and then the doctor told me it was anisocoria, explaining, "it could be nothing, or it could be a sign of something life threatening." Ok, so that's kind of a big range!
After asking me questions related to whether or not he sweats on both sides of his face when he exercises, and gets red on both sides of his face when he is angry (both answers: yes), the doctor said he thought it was likely nothing, and we should not worry about it. The problem is, my son had just a month earlier, developed a severe eye tic (chronic blinking and twitching of both eyes) out of nowhere, and his migraine headaches have gotten very frequent -- having about 2-3 every month!
I am trying not to be a worrying mother, but I am very concerned that something could be wrong, and if there is, I want to figure this out as early as possible! Do these symptoms all together sound like something I should be concerned about?
Thanks,
Liza
