I had Lasik surgery 10 months ago. After the surgery (few days) I noticed my left pupil was significantly larger than my right one in the darker light – the difference decreases in bright light (anisocoria). I am wondering if this unfortunate complication was the result of my undergoing the Lasik surgery only 40 hours after the eye exam that included dilation of my pupils? Is reversal of anisocoria caused by Lasik possible - my eyes are very light and the difference in pupil size is noticeable.

There are a number of possibilities. you should seek a second opinion. indians have a high rate of cataracts even at a young age. another possibility is ectasia. both need an evaluation by a doctor.
Yes, you may have displaced your flap. while unusual months after lasik, with the decrease in vision, you should see your surgeon asap to evaluate the vision loss. it could be many things including central serous or a retinal detachment, corneal erosion, or just dry eyes....
