Question
The pupil dilation caused by an eye injury has resulted in a torn ciliary muscle, a posterior chamber angle recession, and has been ongoing for a month now. Recently, there have been instances of eye swelling and headache on the same side as the injured eye, along with photophobia and aversion to darkness. The intraocular pressure is normal, and vision remains good. What is going on? Can the pupil fully recover? Will there be any sequelae?
Answer
Based on your description, considering that the traumatic pupil dilation has been present for a month, it is likely that the pupil will not fully recover to its normal state. Pupil dilation can lead to photophobia. I recommend wearing tinted sunglasses with UV protection to alleviate the issue of photophobia. As long as the intraocular pressure remains normal, there should not be any significant problems.
