Hi,

Hope well.

I have a colleague who has reported to me that they suffer from Anisocoria. This is a condition where they have one pupil bigger than the other. This was caused by an accident they had when they were three.

Colelague says they suffer from headaches when working on DSE.

Checked the lux reading and they are fine. But obviously I can't take into account the fact that one eye may be taking in more light than the other.

Has anyone got experience with this, or could point me in the right direction?

Any helped greatly received.

You don't say if they wear glasses or have regular eye tests - initially I would hope for advice from an optician.

thanks 2 users thanked Kate for this useful post.

diagnosed or undiagnosed?  if it is fiagnosed and under treatment then you nedd to refer them to thier medical professional...it can be as a result of trauma but also from birth...there are different types of filters for glasses etc which are available and they maybe already aware of it...if they are a full time ~8hr DSE user I would refer to OH Doc or ask a specific letter from thier own...which can then be provided to Optician at a company paid for eye test...as I say if they know about it they may already have it all covered...
