birth control and anisocoria Posted: 05-21-08 10:49am
I have been on two androgen blocking
drugs, and one month of BC pills. I was
told to take sprinolactone on 4th day to
21st of my cycle. I have had anisocoria
for almost 3 weeks and it started 3-4 days
after I added oral
contracetives/sprinolactone to my
antiandrogen pill (Flutamide) . Yesterday
was the last BC pill i have and it is a 21
day pill ( no sugar pill).
The problem is that I do not know which
pupil is the abnormal one. In light both
are normal, but in dark is when the
difference is seen.
Could this be a cause of Permanent
anisocoria? I have no other symptoms, and
a full eye
exam was done with no abnormal findings at
ALL.
Today I got my period and the anisocoria
is a bit more.
Thank you
My wedding is in a month and I just feel
so depressed becuase of this pupil
abnormality.

Why are you on the androgen blocking
drugs? Do you know the cause of your
aniscoria? I've never heard of it being
caused by or related to birth control or
reproductive cycles.
Anisocoria is not a condition, it's a
symptom of something else. So there is no
way to know if it will go away unless you
know what's causing it. Here is a list of
some causes- but this is kind've hard to
read... http://www.emedicine.c

I think it's definitely something to check
with your doc about.
