About 7 years ago a large rock flung at my eye and damaged my iris. Since my pupils have not dilated the same and are always uneven. Sometimes this causes sensitivity in the damaged eye due to too bright of light. Is there any method to correct the condition and fix the muscle?

Answer: Anisocoria I am sorry to learn about the rock injury to your eye. Without seeing a photo , I assume that the injured eye has the larger pupil which does not change size. The good news is that there are surgical procedures available to change the size of the pupil to make it more like the other non injured eye. Unfortunately, there is no procedure available that will fix the muscle to make the pupil change size. Therefore you must understand that after surgery, your pupils may still differ a little in size depending on if you are in a dark room or outside on a bright sunny day. Non-Surgically, there are cosmetic contact lenses available that will basically do the same thing.
