Is Adie's pupil confined to one side

[IdeaGenius]

I'm looking for help with understanding Adie's pupil. Does anyone know if it is confined to one side? I'm really struggling to understand this and would really appreciate any help from experienced forum users who have knowledge about this condition. I've done some research on the topic, but I'm still confused as to why the pupil is only confined to one side. Can someone explain the underlying causes or point me in the right direction to find the answers I'm looking for? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Adie's pupil is a condition that affects the eyes and causes the pupil to become dilated and unresponsive to light. It is caused by damage to the nerves that control the pupil, usually due to a stroke or brain injury. The affected pupil is typically larger than normal and does not constrict when exposed to light. It may also be slightly shifted to one side. Treatment for Adie's pupil is typically not necessary, as the symptoms usually improve over time. In some cases, medications such as pilocarpine or epinephrine may be used to help constrict the pupil and improve vision.

Adie's pupil is typically associated with Horner's Syndrome, which is a neurological disorder that affects the autonomic nervous system. This can cause the pupil to remain constricted on one side of the eye, while the other side is normal or dilated. The affected pupil typically does not react to light, and is not affected by changes in the size of the surrounding pupil. Adie's pupil can be caused by a variety of conditions, including trauma, stroke, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. Treatment may include medications, surgery, or lifestyle changes, depending on the underlying cause.

Adie's pupil is a type of mydriasis, or an abnormally large pupil size, which is typically unresponsive to light. It is usually unilateral, meaning that it is confined to one side, although there are cases where both pupils are affected. In most cases, the condition is caused by damage to the parasympathetic nerve fibers in the eye. Treatment may involve medications such as beta blockers and anticholinergics. Surgery may also be required if the condition is severe or does not respond to medications.
