Adie's pupil is a condition that affects the pupil of the eye. It is a rare disorder that is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 100,000 people, making it quite uncommon. The condition is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection that affects the nerve that controls the pupil. It can also be caused by a stroke or head trauma. Symptoms of Adie's pupil include an abnormally large pupil that does not respond to light, a sluggish reaction to light, and a reduced ability to focus on near objects. Treatment usually involves the use of eye drops and/or glasses.

Adie's pupil is an uncommon neurological disorder, affecting only about one in every 50,000 people. It typically results in one pupil (the Adie's pupil) being larger and slower to respond to light than the other pupil. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, viral infections, and certain medications. Symptoms of Adie's pupil include blurry vision, difficulty focusing, and light sensitivity. Treatment typically involves using eye drops to constrict the affected pupil and improve vision. In some cases, surgery may be recommended. Adie's pupil can be a chronic condition, but most people recover without any long-term effects.

Adie's pupil, also known as Adie syndrome, is a condition where the pupil of the eye reacts differently to light than usual. It occurs when the nerve that controls the pupil's constriction becomes damaged, usually due to an infection or injury. Adie's pupil is fairly uncommon, but it is estimated that it affects 1 in 10,000 people in the US. It is more common in women than men, and it typically appears in people between the ages of 20 and 40. While there is no cure for Adie's pupil, symptoms can be managed with glasses, eye drops, and sometimes surgery.

Query: What is the cause of Adie's pupil?
Adie's pupil is a type of non-reactive pupil, typically resulting from damage to the postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers of the ciliary ganglion. It is most often caused by a viral or bacterial infection such as herpes simplex, although it can also be a result of head trauma, stroke, or an autoimmune disorder such as multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barre syndrome. Adie's pupil is typically unilateral, though it can sometimes affect both pupils. Symptoms include a dilated, non-responsive pupil, slow light-near pupillary responses, and reduced accommodation.

Adie's pupil is a condition in which the pupil of the eye is abnormally enlarged and cannot respond to light. It is caused by damage to the third cranial nerve, which controls the muscles of the pupil.
