Answers: It's called anisocoria. It can be completely normal. Or you could have glaucoma, a tumor, or some type of poisoning. See your eyedoctor.

* Simple anisocoria
o Simple anisocoria may be found in up to 20% of the general population and may vary from day to day in the same individual.
o In most patients, the degree of anisocoria is less than 1 mm, and no ptosis, dilation lag, or vasomotor dysfunction is present.
o In some patients, simple anisocoria may be provoked by oral medications (eg, pseudoephedrine, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).
o Instillation of 4-10% cocaine solution causes dilation of both eyes.
o Old photographs, sometimes from drivers' licenses, can provide evidence that the anisocoria has been present for some time.
