Pupils? am I going mad?

Sometimes it looks to me as if my daughters pupils are different sizes, not all the time but now and then, I've looked on the web and most of the advice related to sudden or large changes in pupil size, has anyone else experienced this. Nobody else has ever commented on this including doctors etc although I've always noticed it. She seems normal in every other way, do I take her to the doctors and risk a big scare or just harbour secret fears of brain tumours etc its playing on my mind. Glad of your opinions

Do take her to the doctor. If you are worried enough to post about it, it will worry you forever

If it is playing on your mind you should go to the doctors, even if only for reassurance.If not, it will always ne niggling you. I would definitely take her.

Take her to the dr. My friends baby has this and he has been diagnosed with something (can't remember its name). it was related to having a long second stage labour or something. It's not serious though and shouldn't have much/any effect. She was terrified until she had been.

Has she had meningitis or diptheria? - if so this can be the residue from these disease processes. There is a small chance she might have an aneurysm - this can cause anisocoria - I would definitley have it checked out. If this is ruled out them I would support her nervous system with herbs such as chamomile and a multimineral.
