10 months after LASIK I'm experiencing anisocoria. Is this related to an exam 40 hours prior to LASIK that dilated my pupils?

Asked By:Tomas Wavefront in Calgary, AB

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.
