Pictures & Eyes


Everythime someone takes a picture or I go and have a picture taken, my eyes always looks like someone scared me. They are BIGGGG

I mention this to a Dr. years ago and he told me that it was because of the dilantin.

In my child hood pictures my eyes do not appear this way.

Anyone else.

Does it happen in every photo, or only when you're looking directly at the camera?

I haven't heard of Dilantin affecting eye or pupil size. What it can do is give you nystagmus, which is when your eyes move back forth rapidly.

It's when my looking directly at the camera.

When my dilantin level gets the less bit high, my eyes go side to side rapidly. When this happens I call my Neur. and ask for level check.
