What are the features of Adie's pupil

[IdeaGenius]

Hello, I'm looking for information about Adie's pupil and would love some help from other forum users. Does anyone know what the features of Adie's pupil are? I've read that it's a type of tonic pupil, but I'd like to know more about the specifics. Is it a slow or fast response pupil? Does it react differently to light or near stimuli? Any information regarding Adie's pupil would be greatly appreciated.

Adie's pupil is a type of pupillary abnormality caused by a damaged or denervated parasympathetic nerve supply to the pupil. It is characterized by a sluggish and prolonged contraction of the pupil in response to light, often with an initial constriction that is followed by a delayed and prolonged dilation. It is named after William John Adie, a Scottish neurologist who first described the condition in 1936.

The main features of Adie's pupil include:

• Sluggish and prolonged contraction of the pupil in response to light.
• Initial constriction of the pupil, followed by a delayed and prolonged dilation.
• A “tonic” pupil, which is a pupil that remains dilated even in total darkness.
• An irregular pupil, which is a pupil that is not symmetrically round.
• An absence of the normal reflex of the pupil (the pupillary light reflex).
• An absent or reduced accommodation reflex.

Adie's pupil is a type of eye condition which results in a fixed, dilated pupil. It is caused by damage to the nerves that control the pupil. People with Adie's pupil often have a slow or absent pupillary light reflex and difficulty focusing their eyes. Other common symptoms include blurred vision, eye pain, and headaches. Treatment typically involves the use of medications to reduce muscle spasms and improve vision. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases.

Adie's pupil is an abnormal pupil condition which results in a sluggish or unresponsive pupil. It is usually caused by damage to the parasympathetic nerve supply to the eye, which then results in an inability of the pupil to constrict in response to light. Other symptoms include poor light-near dissociation, lack of accommodation, and poor convergence. Treatment may include the use of a combination of topical medication, laser therapy, and surgery.

Adie's pupil is a condition that affects the pupil of the eye, causing it to become sluggish and unresponsive to light. It is usually caused by disease or injury to the autonomic nervous system. The main feature of Adie's pupil is the pupil's inability to constrict normally, which results in an uneven appearance of the pupil when exposed to light. Additionally, the pupil may not react normally to light or may react much slower than normal. When tested using the swinging flashlight test, the pupil may fail to react as it should, or may react much slower than normal. In some cases, the pupil may react normally when exposed to bright light, but not to low light. Other signs of Adie's pupil include an apathetic response to accommodation and tonic accommodation.
