(Diminished pupillary reflex, Impaired pupillary reflex, Abnormal pupillary reflex, Reduced pupillary reflex, Weak pupillary reflex, Slowed pupillary reflex, Blunted pupillary reflex, Lowered pupillary reflex, Lessened pupillary reflex, Subdued pupill...)
Decreased pupillary light reflex is a medical symptom characterized by reduced pupil constriction when exposed to light. It typically starts with a decrease in the size of the pupil when exposed to light, followed by a slower-than-normal return to its original size. It may also be accompanied by a d...
