A member asked:
Why is one pupil larger than the other? it used to happen randomly and would go away, about a year ago i first noticed. now, it stays like this longer

Might be ok: About 20% of people have a small difference between right vs left pupil size with no symptoms at all. If the difference is large, you should show your doctor.
