Left Pupil dilates slightly larger then right

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been a Lexapro 10mg for 2 weeks and started noticing couple days in my left pupil would be slightly larger then right. I have had a brain ct scan so no issues with brain, optomerist said optical nerves were good but wanted to get me over to opmathologist or however you spell it to make sure nothing else. Has anyone had this for couple weeks upon starting lexapro? I relapsed with anxiety so im back on it and dont remember this happening last time. Let me know everyones thoughts

    Dilated pupils is one of the side effects of Lexapro. If you experience eye pain or a visual disturbance, or your eye becomes red and/or swollen you must get your ocular pressures checked immediately. Were they checked by the ophthalmologist? That is why the optometrist wanted you to see an ophthalmologist. That would be a good idea if you havent had it done.

    the pressure was 13 &14 so in good range. I have an appt Thursday. Its so odd because I don't remember this last time I was on it for 2 years. Have you had this happen? did it go away, just worried I am going to have to get off lexapro and its always worked miracles for me.
