What causes anisocoria to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things.: Anisocoria is when one pupil is larger than the other. Anisocoria may be congenital, caused by lesions in the brain or eye or induced by asymmetric topical application of meds. I believe david bowie has congenital anisocoria.
