Hi, Jody. I'm a photographer and computer professional too. Fortunately it's my left eye that has the tonic pupil so I can still see clearly through the camera with my right (dominant) eye.  I don't know what brought on the Adie's. I don't have normal reflexes in my opposite (left) leg.

Best wishes,
Linda

      I am also new to the forum. My right eye was diagnosed with Adies on Jan. 2. It came on very abruptly at the same time I had a cold virus. I'm not sure if that is the virus that caused it. I am a graphic designer and work on the computer most of the day. It has been difficult. I did purchase a flat screen monitor to ease the strain. It does help a little bit. Prior to my diagnoses I had just had prescriptions filled for bifocals, computer glasses and reading glasses. I've been holding off getting re-tested because of the expense of new glasses. I also wanted to see if it improved on it's own. I am also a photographer and a bird watcher and use my right eye for looking through the camera viewfinder and my scope. The blurriness has been making this impossible. I think what bothers me the most is the uneveness between the two eyes-both in blurriness and light sensitivity. Last week my husband noticed my pupil looked a little smaller-it had improved a little bit from being a big black disk. You could actually see some of the iris color which had been mostly gone. The blurriness and eye strain continue, though. It's a challenge.

Adie's is considered asymmetrical, meaning if the right pupil is effected, you may experience the reflex and or sweating problems on the right also. mrs ... ...
