A member asked:
My son(13) has big pupils. should i be concerned? he had a headache but its gone, should i be concerned?

No.: Pupil size can be affected by light, medications (including recreational drugs), pesticides, and also by pain. If your son's grades have started plummeting, he's given up on his activities, or he's become very secretive, you can worry. Don't obsess about his pupils in the absence of more specific signs.
