-Oh, and one more thing about pupil size. This one drove me crazy.
In fact, I had a total meltdown more than once about it. Bottom line
is, some people's eyes are VERY sensitive to these drops. And my
pupils did not equilibrate until I was off ALL drops for 2-4 weeks!!
You may just be absorbing more in one eye than the other. Try to be
patient. It's something that I was never successful with, but in
hindsight, I could have saved myself a lot of anxiety.
