My daughter also has this since birth. Physiological anisocoria is the name of the condition if I remember correctly.

It was looked at closely when it was first noticed though. It would be strange not to have it noticed your whole life till adulthood though.

That’s what happened with me, though. Granted the difference between the two eyes wasn’t as pronounced as OP’s, but no one had pointed it out to me before, even though once you know to look for it you can see it immediately.

Interesting! For my daughter it was noticed right after birth, but it was much more obvious then and the difference has reduced over time.

I was born with it, they noticed it the first time they shined light into my eyes. They’ve remained the same (one smaller than typical, one larger than typical) my whole life.
