Hey, everybody. Good evening. It's Dr. Sam, and I'm here on Facebook Live. So glad to be back. I've been off for a few weeks. And we've got a great set of questions. So I'm going to jump in. First of all, I'm going to make an announcement that you can send me your questions through my website. Hello at Dr. Sam berne.com. But we now have a new feature where you can actually text me directly. And I will answer your question. So let me give you that number 1-844-932-1291. That's 1-844-932-1291. So if you have a question, you can always text me there, you get me directly. And I'll be happy to do my best to answer your question. So we've got so many questions tonight. Being off, it's just kind of collected.

So I'm going to jump right in. And I want to take a question from a concerned mom. And she's got a son who has been diagnosed with a condition where the pupils, the pupil is the part of the eye that regulates the light going in, it's kind of the dark part of the eye, where the iris, the colored part controls the muscle in any way, this condition is called anisocoria. It means that there's an unequal pupil size. And she thinks that he was born with it, but didn't notice it. For a while few months, she feels that it might be from the Pitocin that a lot of moms get when they're in the labor period. And that does kind of disconnect, the the infant from the mother and doing a lot of study over the years. And perinatal and prenatal therapy, cranial sacral, and sensory motor development, I do feel that the birth is one of the critical imprints in our sensory motor development. So anyways, she goes on that. Anyways, she wants to know what I think in terms of this unequal pupil size and something called anisocoria. So some of the symptoms of this unequal pupil size could be things like double vision, blurred vision. Sometimes you can get things like headaches, or nausea.

Another thing that I see with this imbalance of the pupil is actually neck stiffness, neck issues. And you know, we just had our workshop and I was talking about the cervical spine, and how when it gets tight, it actually can affect our eye muscles. You know, and with the neck issue, it's also there can be a relationship between a tight neck and the the astigmatism that can occur. Anyways, why do we get this unequal pupil size? Well, definitely, it can be caused because of trauma, head trauma. Sometimes there's an inflammation somewhere in the optic nerve. More serious things like meningitis, aneurysms, seizures, I'm not sure that those relate, I would think it'd be more related to the trauma or possibly an inflammation going on. And one of the things that occurs when the pupils are unequal is that this can cause a sensitivity to light. And so you know, you need to go to your eye doctor and at least get the physical exam, which I think that she has done.
