What does it mean when your pupils do not respond to light?

Dilated pupils: Dilated unresponsive pupils can be related to medication use, topical dilating drops, trauma, neurologic disease, and other issues. See an eye doctor for further evaluation.

See eye doctor: It could be several reasons. Could be that the pupil has been exposed to a chemical that keeps it big or keeps it small. This chemical could be a medicine you are taking or a chemical in a cleaning product, insect killer, or lawn and garden chemical. Could be that pupil stuck with inflammation. Could be a neurological issues. Need to see eye doctor to evaluate the source.
