Great to see that it's normal, I saw it in the mirror the other day to check my eyes (I have green eyes, one brown central heterochromia the other sectoral heterochromia) although I get headaches literally everyday for quite long times and my visions been called into questioning for a reason before. I swear I see perfectly though...
@sporttygurl hippus is a minor fluctuation of pupil size, not strictly miosis (constriction) or mydriasis (dilation) - so it is unrelated to a particular emotion
Yeah this contractions are normal when the eye is exposed to light in certain angle. In fact, this reaction is used in the alcohol test to evaluate your reflexs
when i look at the bright sunlight off white clouds. initially my puplis contract and the glare goes away. but after a few seconds if slowly becomes more and more glary. duirng this process i can see the light getting less and more darker and brighter? please tell me this is hippus and normal. PLEASE!

It's interesting someone mentioned that hippus may be related to low levels of aldosterone - I have hippus and I also have low blood pressure.. hmm.
I also have alternating aniscoria though, in fact my aniscoria corresponds to my nasal cycle!
My pupils are just odd xD

Hypoaldosteronism is a serious condition and would require medical attention, aldosterone is not directly related to hippus
lamb0176 2 years ago
@Yixian99 nasal cycle? Are you using any nasal decongestants? If so, this could be affecting pupil size (slight dilation)

@lcozzarelli agreed, phenylephrine can cause pupillary dilation - though nasal cycle and decongestants are unrelated to hippus

Thankyou for this vid. I noticed this on myself one day and another video suggested this was due to low aldosterone levels.
Thanks for saying that it is usually normal - I'm no longer concerned.

Look for medical resources on the topic instead of Internet hear-say, such as via Google Scholar

Hippus should be independent of changes in illumination (brightness). If this affects your vision or causes pain, it might be time to see a doctor.

thanks for the video clip...
it was helpful for me to see what hippus really is rather than just using my imagination. :)
