Nerf gun injury resulting in traumatic myadriasis 6 weeks ago
I have a nerf gun injury, traumatic myadriasis, 6 weeks ago. Pupil still about 30% wider than the other. Wondering about trying pilocarpine to see if it can contract- seems a bit like it is atrophying at the moment because never contracts to its smallest size.
Dr. Hagan, you said in another response to me in a really long thread that Pilocarpine is NOT a treatment for 6 week injury. Do you think exercises are worth while? Either light/dark or straining to get focus? If I cover my good eye and practice on the bad one, my reading ability improves slightly but it hurts in the eye after a while.

Thank you. Has anything been shown to be helpful for this situation?

It will give you something to do but has not been show to be helpful. Our pupils are moving all the time anyway. Pilocarpine would increase the risk of RD and uveitis and has not been shown to be helpful but has been shown to be harmful.
