The other name for an Argyll Robertson pupil is a 'Progressive Internal Ophthalmoplegia'. It is a type of pupil which is seen in neurological disorders, such as neurosyphilis. It is characterized by a small pupil which is usually not reactive to light, but can react to near vision stimuli such as accommodation (focusing on close objects). It is also known as "Argyll Robertson Syndrome".

Argyll Robertson pupil (ARP) is a condition where the pupils of the eyes react to accommodation, but not to light. It is also known as Adie's Tonic pupil, after the Scottish ophthalmologist, W. H. Adie, who first described it in 1927. The condition is characterized by loss of the pupillary light reflex and a slow response to light, while the direct response to accommodation remains intact. Symptoms typically include a slow pupillary response to light and near objects, and a slightly larger pupil size than normal. Treatment is typically not necessary, as the condition often resolves itself without intervention.

Answer:

Argyll Robertson pupil, also known as the "light-near dissociation," is a condition in which the pupil reacts normally to light but fails to constrict when focusing on a near object. This condition is caused by damage to the third cranial nerve, and it has been associated with diabetes, syphilis, brain tumors, and other neurological diseases. Treatment for this condition depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, surgery, or even laser therapy.
