Reflexes 1
The reaction of the pupil to both direct and indirect (consensual) bright light and accommodation should be assessed and recorded.
A pupil that is slow or fails to react to light, but reacts to accommodation, is commonly due to one or other of:
- Optic neuropathy
- Holmes-Adie syndrome
- Argyll-Robertson pupil
No reaction to light or accommodation is most likely due to either occulomotor nerve palsy, or the use of a mydriatic drug.
