AVoid Disorientation

Spatial disorientation, is there any way to avoid it?

If you are flying VFR rules, and you encounter this problem, is there
A. any way to tell
B. a way to avoid or get out of it
I ask this as it has been reported/documented that most Pilots that get into this scenario crash within two minutes.

How to Prevent Spatial Disorientation

Take the opportunity to personally experience sensory illusions in a Barany chair, a Vertigon, a GYRO, or a Virtual Reality Spatial Disorientation Demonstrator
(VRSDD). By experiencing sensory illusions first hand (on the ground), pilots are better prepared to recognize a sensory illusion when it happens during flight and to take immediate action. The Aeromedical Education Division of the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute offers spatial disorientation demonstrations with the GYRO and the VRSDD in Oklahoma City and at all of the major airshows in the continental U.S
.
Obtain training and maintain your proficiency in aircraft control by reference to instruments.

When flying at night or in reduced visibility, use and rely on your flight instruments.

Study and become familiar with unique geographical conditions where flight is intended.

Do not attempt visual flight when there is a possibility of being trapped in deteriorating weather.

If you experience a visual illusion during flight (most pilots do at one time or another),
have confidence in your instruments and ignore all conflicting signals your body gives you.
Accidents usually happen as a result of a pilot’s indecision to rely on the instruments.

If you are one of two pilots in an aircraft and you begin to experience a visual illusion, transfer control of the aircraft to the other pilot, since pilots seldom experience
visual illusions at the same time.

By being knowledgeable, relying on experience, and trusting your instruments,you will be contributing to keeping the skies safe for everyone.

Constricted Pupils?

It would be great to get an answer from a clinical and not textbook perspective...if anyone has seen this...

I know that constricted pupils most often occur due to use of CNS depressing drugs.

BUT..I sometimes have constricted pupils and take no such medications. My vision will be "blurry". I do have anaphylaxis to certain foods, though. Is it possible that I am experiencing hypotension/shock induced by certain foods but not a full blown typical anaphylatic reaction (I avoid the foods I am known to be anaphylactic to, of course)?

Or can general bouts of low blood pressure cause this? What rare optic diseases would cause this (if any)?

I will feel dizzy and disorientation when this occurs.

Normally, I would not be concerned, but I am being more affected by it, and I am worried that people with think I'm stoned when I don't even do drugs...

I have mentioned this to my GP, and he was not concerned..

First, I'm a neuroscience RN not a physician.

Have you been tested for glaucoma? The reason I'm curious is that normally visual acuity improves with pupillary constriction (and worsens with dilatation) -- except in the case of increased intraocular pressure (IOP). I don't diagnose, but I would go to an optometrist and have your IOP checked (if >20, it could be something like wide-angle glaucoma ... the optometrist would be able to make the diagnosis).
