concussion and eye dilation

I would like to suggest that you pursue your head injury and the concussion first. Consult a neurologist first and get an MRI scan done and visualize any collected blood and correlate clinically. The symptoms have to be checked against MRI findings and any details missed on either. Fix an appointment with the optometrist at a later date, say a wee later, if it was just for errors of refraction. Take care.

If one has pupil dilation in one eye after blunt trauma, how long can recovery take? It has been four weeks since the injury. Is there still a chance it will get better? The pupil does respond to light, but is always bigger than the other eye. It seems to be a little bit better, but is noticably bigger.

m pretty sure I was holding my breath at times to try and subdue the pain, not once did he ask my comfort level and if I needed time to rest. Immediately after the surgery he gave me a kleenex to wipe the gel form my eye and given a piece of paper to give to the receptionist to schedule another appointment 6 months later. While at the receptionist desk I got very light headed and passed out, hit my head on the wall and put a hole in the drywall.

Is this dilation a sign of fear, due to pain, or could it be something worse, like a kitty concussion? Or after reading other posts, rabies? (DOUBLE the dilation shown in the attached photo.

Headaches may be due to concussion which is common. Not sure about the eyes. Consult a Neurologist and get some scanning done as soon as possible. "No head injury is too severe to despair of nor too trivial to ignore.

Have had eye floaters for 28 years and the eye doctor says my eyes are fine but I think it's something else, tired of having them and they are the same shape all the time, they never differ.

My daughter has hit her eye and we are worried about a concussion.

Thank you ladies! My mom said the same. To just watch for constant crying and overly sleepy. He's gotten better as they days gone on. No vomiting or eye dilation it's not harder than usual to wake him and he's smiling more like usual. I'm first time mom so any reassurance is welcomed.

That is not due to concussion. You should be seen by an Eye MD ophthalmologist for a medical eye exam.

My right Pupil was huge taking up most of my blue eye. I became concerned and had my husband look at it and he thought it was strange as well. We did a light test to see if in got smaller with the light and it did but sluggishly. So for about 6 hours it stayed this way, then I woke up this morning and it appeared normal looking.

Hi, I had 3 surgeries (2 RD and 1 silicone oil removal/cataract) about 2.5 years ago, and my eye stayed dilated for a long time, and I thought it would just be that way forever. Well, I just happened to notice the other day that it is NO LONGER DILATED! I had gotten so used to it I didn't even notice it anymore, but it is back to normal now. Hope this helps!

At times a subdural hematoma develops slowly and may be missed on the first MRI. Also concussion can cause persisting headaches and should be allowed to slowly subside before active sports are considered. Injury to neck, to jaw bone, and even eyes should be considered. Get his eye sight also checked. May be the headaches are because he needs spectacles. -Take care!

I'm not a doctor, but I am a fellow fibro sufferer. I'm sorry you've been having such a hard time and undergoing so much stress right now. Muscle twitches can and do occur with fibro, but they can and do also occur with stress, so, unfortunately, it's hard to say what might be causing the eye twitch.

While recovering in the hospital, I started having pain behind my right eye and when I looked in the mirror, I noticed the right pupil was slightly dilated. I mentioned it to the nurse, but she did not know what it was. I am still having these symptoms nearly two weeks later. I was checked out by an optometrist who noticed the dilation but said that everything else seemed normal. A quick internet search of this topic is enough to freak me out!

You will need to work through them with an ENT physician (hearing/sinus) Ophthalmologist Eye MD (floaters, eye alignment problems) and probably a general practitioner or internal medicine specialist.

I went to the doctor 4 days later after symptoms were still present and they said I had a concussion. They performed a CT scan and said everything was FINE! I was relieved to hear this. Every so often, I "tweak" the concussion in various ways, but haven't had too many symptoms other than headaches and neck/back aches.

Hey. I suffered a mild concussion in january 2010 and am still suffering w PCS. I too have vision problems. More like just harlot focus and my eyes don't move well with my head movements. I have been outbid any physical activity since the incident. How are you doing now?

So do you Luvtoski and the physicians of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (Eye MDs) thank you and all the other emphathetic and helpful people that take time to respond and share their experience.

I hit it twice in a row out of anger, and afterward I experienced neck/head ache as well as extreme tiredness.

Last night my cat was fine when we retired for the night. When we woke, her left eye was dilated and her right eye seemed ok. She doesn't seem to be in any pain, but is not eating as usual and is sleeping a lot today. What could have caused this to happen?

He also used 1% tropicamide, but I had a very bad reaction to it. my heart rate raised to 220, and i threw up and was shaking very badly. Is there anything that the eye doctor can use without making my sensitive heart go so crazy?

I will do that. What drops would you recommend. I would like to be proactive in my request. Thanks.

I had gone for a dilated eye exam before the exam my floaters were small and after the eye exam I developed large floaters can you tell me the cause is the dilation drops damage my eyes or strain because after the dilation eye exam I used the computer and cell phone

s exam, my ability to see my constant floaters and other distortions in my vision disappears. The undilated eye is then providing the brain all the view. This dilation gives my brain a lot of relief. What is wrong with use of dilation to quell the stressful views of my eye? What is too frequent, and why?
