Anomalies of pupillary function - what does this mean
Anomalies of pupillary function occur when the pupils of the eyes do not properly respond to changes in light, such as constricting or dilating. this can be caused by a variety of conditions, including damage to the eyes, medications, neurological disorders, and even certain types of eye surgery.
What happens during the disease - anomalies of pupillary function
Anomalies of pupillary function are caused by damage to the nerves responsible for controlling the pupil, such as the oculomotor nerve or the sympathetic nerve. this damage can be caused by a variety of conditions, including trauma, stroke, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or tumors. it can also be caused by drugs that affect the autonomic nervous system, or by certain eye diseases such as glaucoma.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination of the eyes
- Measurement of pupil size in dim and bright light
- Testing for the presence of a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD)
- Testing for the presence of a Marcus Gunn pupillary response
- Testing for the presence of an Argyll Robertson pupil
- Testing for the presence of a light-near dissociation
- Testing for the presence of an Adie's tonic pupil
- Testing for the presence of a pupillary light reflex
- Testing for the presence of a consensual light reflex
- Testing for the presence of a pupillary accommodation reflex
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To improve the pupillary function.
- Eye muscle exercises
- Medication to relax the eye muscles
- Prescription eyeglasses
- Eye drops to improve pupil dilation
- Surgery to correct the pupil shape
- Laser therapy to reduce inflammation
- Neurostimulation to improve pupil constriction
14 Days of Hospitalization Required
60 Hours Required for Outpatient Treatment
Anomalies of pupillary function - Prevention
Anomalies of pupillary function can be prevented by avoiding head trauma, taking measures to prevent eye infections, and avoiding the use of drugs that can have a negative effect on the pupillary reflex. other preventive measures include regular eye exams and avoiding exposure to bright light.
