Horner's syndrome

Hello everyone,
I just noticed that Kalyn's eye on her injured side doesn't constrict as much as the other. Is this a sign of Horner's syndrome? What I've read is that the injured side constricts more. I am very confused. Does anyone have any thoughts? And does anyone know what the affects will be if it is Horner's?

Thank you again for all your help.
Tiffany and Kalyn

The pupil does not dilate as fully with Horner's.
Mine is on the injured side. And the eyelid gets droopy when one is tired.

We have been told that with Horner's the pupil is smaller, so I am not sure what to tell you. You may want to consider going to a pediatric optometrist for an exam. We did and were glad that we did. Sorry, wish I could help more.
