I just found this site and I am suprised to see so many others with
Adie's. With the condition being so rare, it's hard to find anyone
who understands.

I developed Adie's in 2003 after a sinus infection. I had a really
bad headache that day but thought it was just the infection. I really
freaked out when I discovered my right pupil was so dialated. When I
went to my eye doctor, he took one look and said Adie's. Boy, I
wasn't prepared for the sensitivity to light (especially strobe
lights-instant migraine!)), loss of shadows, night vision loss, and
headaches.

I really haven't found anything that helps, does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks for any suggestions.
