What are the characteristics of Adie's tonic pupil

"Hello everyone,

I'm hoping to get some help understanding the characteristics of Adie's tonic pupil. Does anyone know what it is and what are the symptoms? I would really appreciate any help or advice anyone has to offer.

Adie's tonic pupil is a rare form of pupil abnormality that occurs in the eye. It is named after William Adie, the British neurologist who first described it in 1931. Characteristics of Adie's tonic pupil include an abnormally large pupil that is slow to contract even when exposed to bright light and also shows a reduced response to near vision. In addition, the pupil may remain dilated for a long period of time, and the patient may experience vision disturbances such as blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision. Adie's tonic pupil can be caused by infection, trauma, certain medications, or neurologic disorders. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce pupil size or surgery to improve the pupil's response to light.

Adie's tonic pupil is a condition caused by a damaged nerve that controls the pupil of the eye. Generally, this condition presents with a pupil that is dilated and unresponsive to light or accommodation. It is often accompanied by paralysis of the ciliary muscle which is responsible for focusing the lens and therefore causes blurred vision. Additionally, the affected eye may also exhibit a reduced reaction to the near reflex. These clinical features can be seen in both eyes, but are more commonly found unilaterally.

Adie's tonic pupil is an ophthalmologic disorder characterized by a slow or absent pupillary light reflex, usually on the same side as the affected pupil. This pupil also displays an increased constriction when exposed to light, while both constriction and dilation responses are absent when the pupil is exposed to accommodation. Other common signs of Adie's tonic pupil include an enlarged pupil, absence of convergence, and sluggish reaction to near stimuli. Additionally, Adie's tonic pupil is often accompanied by an abnormally increased deep tendon reflex and minor motor deficits.

Adie's tonic pupil is a neurological disorder that results in an abnormally large pupil that is unresponsive to light and accommodation. Characteristics of this disorder include an inability to constrict the pupil in response to light, a diminished or absent response to near vision, delayed relaxation of the pupil after exposure to light, and an elevated intraocular pressure. This disorder can also be accompanied by an abnormal deep tendon reflex, ptosis or drooping of the eyelid, and a segmented or irregularly shaped pupil. In some cases, Adie's tonic pupil can also lead to vision loss or impaired vision.

Adie's tonic pupil is a type of pupil that is usually seen in adults, characterized by slow and incomplete constriction to light, and slow and incomplete dilation in response to accommodation. It is often accompanied by loss of the near reflex and an absent or diminished deep tendon reflex. It is typically caused by damage to the parasympathetic nerve fibers that control the pupil.
