Hey thanks for the question . Yes dear there is hope so dont worry . Traumatic mydriasis is due to nerve or a muscle injury and the fibres can regrow slowly in some cases . Therefore lets hope for the best . Regards .

So would you call that transient mydriasis instead of permanent traumatic mydriasis??? Since my pupil is mildly dilating?
