The link between Pupil Size and Concussions

A concussion may cause drooping eyelids, dilated pupils, or 
trouble tracking things. These signs can be clearly visible at 
times, but not always. A physician can examine for concussions 
with the aid of assessment tools.
After a concussion, over 90% of patients have symptoms related 
to their eyes. In addition, they could have light sensitivity, 
problems with depth perception, memory loss, or fuzzy vision.
Vision issues can occasionally be signs of more serious issues. 
Anyone experiencing these symptoms ought to consult a doctor.
This article examines the most prevalent symptoms of 
concussions that affect vision, as well as available treatments.

What Is The Appearance Of Concussed Eyes?
Changes in pupillary size measurement can occur after a concussion, although not usually.
Symptoms related to vision are typical after a concussion. Certain symptoms might be 
apparent from the outside, like:
 Droopy eyelids
 Misaligned eyes
 Atypical eye movements
 Dilated pupils, or pupils of uneven size
 Difficulty tracking objects with the eyes
But not every eye symptom associated with a concussion is obvious from the outside. 
Furthermore, not every person who has had a concussion will experience the same 
symptoms.

Is It Possible To Do A Concussion Test At Home?
A reliable at-home pupil exam to identify concussions does not exist. 
Online surveys, however, can be used to gauge a person's post-head 
injury symptoms.
The choice to seek medical treatment can be influenced by the results of 
these examinations. They shouldn't, however, take the place of a 
medical diagnostic.

When to Get Assistance
Anyone should get medical attention if they think someone may have had a concussion. Anyone experiencing any of the 
above symptoms should contact 911 immediately:
 Slurred speech
 Unusual behavior
 Weakness or numbness
 Nausea or repeated vomiting
 One pupil is larger than the other
 Seizures, convulsions, or twitching
 decreased balance and coordination
 Confusion, agitation, or restlessness
 Drowsiness or difficulty staying awake
 A headache that worsens and does not go away
A baby or toddler who is wailing uncontrollably or who refuses to eat or nurse may also require emergency medical 
intervention before getting the pupil diameter measurement test done.
Even if a person loses consciousness momentarily, they should get emergency medical attention right away.

In Summary
A concussion frequently affects the eyes and might result in symptoms 
like double vision, trouble tracking the eyes, or sensitivity to light.
A concussion may manifest externally as abnormal pupils or changed eye 
movements, for example. However, this is not a reliable method for self-
diagnosis. Different people will have different symptoms after a 
concussion, and certain visual signs call for immediate medical attention.
If someone believes they or someone else may have had a concussion, 
they should consult a physician. A physician can diagnose the condition 
and keep an eye out for any indications of consequences.
Rest and restricting activities, such as utilizing screens, are part of the 
treatment. In the event that visual issues don't go away, vision therapy 
can be necessary.
