Is it normal uneven eye dilation?

Sometimes when I look in the mirror I relize my right pupil is huge while the left is tiny. I still see perfectly normal but I was wondering if anyone else has had this symptom occur? I don't have health insurance (I was dropped recently) and to be honest I'm too afraid to google the symptom.

    In the absence of recent head trauma or certain neurological disorders, no, it is not.

    Do you always look in the same mirror in the same position/lighting? If so, it may just be that one of your eyes is receiving more direct light from the lights above you (your pupils get smaller when they receive a large amount of light). Otherwise, it might just be a minor concussion, among various other head/eye "conditions". Just go see your doctor to receive a diagnosis if it's a concussion or other brain or basic eye condition, and from there (based on other symptoms, and lack thereof,) he may refer you to either a neuro or eye specialist for a more specific diagnosis. For now though, get an appointment, avoid looking close-up in a mirror, and remember this: the more you investigate, the more you will find.

    whats up man, hey, I have the same condition. At first doctors said it was not possible, but I can do it on demand, so I did and it freaked some people out. I figured out what it is. I know this may sound weird, but, you are a spiritual person who has the capability of holding a strong current of supernatural power. You are also a control freak. Maybe not seemingly outwards, but inside absolutley. This is what happens. Your mind/body is fighting your spirit. The eyes are the lamplight to the soul. Because you are trying to control your soul, the symptom goes to the eyes itself. They are gates, and because of the conflict inside you they are unsteady to let both light and balance into your being.
    Again, I know this sound crazy maybe but like I said, I can do it on demand, and I've figured out why. It comes down to control. Like being able to wiggle your ears. You are in no danger though physicaly. I see fine as well and have known of this for about 7 years now.

    If u were born this way then it could be completely normal for you. If this is a new development then it could be something serious and u should see a neurologist.

    I've heard that it might be a problem with your brain. My eyes were like that one day and someone told me that. I never pay attention to it though on a daily basis.

    I have this...but Ive had it since birth. Theres a name for it, I just cant remember it. My right pupil is larger then the left, but not a massive amount larger. IF this is the case for you...since birth, dont worry about it. If this is a new symptom, then its NOT normal, & I suggest you find some way to seek medical care. Not meaning to scare you, but in the worst case...it could be a brain/optic tumor.
