A member asked:

My pupil is left dilated from iritis. was given pilocarpine for 3days it reduced pupil about 4mm. but after stopin drops the pupil is dilated again? y

See an Eye MD: Iritis can cause permanent pupil dilation if it was severe enough to begin with. You should be under the care of an ophthalmologist to be sure that everything that can be done is being done.
