Is Heavy, Droopy And Enlarged Pupil After Being Hit Concerning?
My daughter (8yrs old) was hit in the left eye today with a ball in P.E. 10am (she wears glasses). Her eye is slightly droopy and the pupil is just a hair larger than the right eye (5:30pm when I got home). Is this something I should worry about and take her to be seen. She is not complaining of sensitivity and it is not red but said her eye feels heavy and uncomfotable.

Hello,
I am glad you have been checking your daughter's eye. What you are describing- the difference in pupil size and uncomfortable feeling are not normal.
Please take her to her primary care doctor's office or, if not open, then to the ER as quickly as you can.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Arnold Zedd, Pediatrician
