Parents refer to wide eyes and I was wondering what do they mean? Are the child's eyes always opened wide? or do they have episodes of wide eyes like during panic attack? or do they have staring spells? etc. Thanks for helping me to understand.

In my boys they get the wide/wild eyes when they are in exacerbation and really stressed. The look panicked and scared and pissed all at the same time. Hope that paints a picture :)

Extremely abnormally large pupils in my boys, especially during an episode. I actually had to take pictures in May of my youngest. I believe it was his first full blown episode and the first five days after testing positive for strep he had all the crazy symptoms and his pupils were extremely dilated in comparison to his brothers in the same light, same standing position and camera position. CRAZY to look at and then add the baby talking and yikes...kinda of creepy and makes you feel so sorry for them!

Puffy eyelids and dilated pupils. Dear-in-the-headlights, panic-striken.

 

Ditto here. Even when the actual demeanor isn't panicky at all. The pupils react to light though. They do constrict when I test him with a flashlight. So pupillary refelex is normal and shows there is neuro issues but no damage per se.
