What is adie syndrome?

Adie syndrome is a condition in which pupils of the individual's eyes are permanently expanded. In this state, the eye cannot respond to changes in the light. Other reflexes, such as knee and other tendons, can also be delayed. Very rare condition, adie syndrome is not life -threatening and disabled individuals can live in the long term with the condition for a long time. Adie syndrome is also known as a tonic pupil syndrome, Holmes-Adie syndrome, papillotonic psuedotabes, psuedo-argyll syndrome, Robertson, Weill-Reys Syndrome or Adie Tonic.

In addition to extended pupils and slowing the reflexes of large tendons, such as Achilles tendon, are those who have adie syndrome, usually sensitive to bright lights. Their pupils are slowly responding to changes in the light and slowly focus on objects of different distances due to damage or failure in the ciliary bodies of the eye controlling the pupil. Other symptoms include an increase or drop in blood pressure, when standing stains of the skin where the body does not sweat and irregular heart rhythm. They are sometimesIndividuals to see with abnormally narrowed pupils instead of pupils who are extended, although the rest of the symptoms associated with it are the same.

almost three times common in women as in men, the causes of Adie syndrome are not known. It is assumed that it is related to other diseases of the nervous system or autoimmune reactions and it has been seen that it develops in those who also suffer from migraines or excessive sweat. It has also been proposed that there is a connection between Adie syndrome and the use of caffeine, sugar consumption, viral infection or trauma. The most common patients are young women aged 20 to 40 years.

ADIE Syndrome Testing includes an eye test to determine the pupil's sensitivity. Medical experts may include other Czechs to eliminate another diagnosis. Intensive responses to the eyes can also help to determine the diagnosis because this suggests a disorder in eye movement control.

usually, only one eye affected during aStage, but the condition usually spreads to the other eye. The condition of having one pupil larger than the other is called Anisocoria. The loss of reflexive movement in the tendons is permanent, but there are drops that can be used to help narrow the affected pupils. Regulation glasses can be adapted to help in eliminating any vision problems associated with the condition.
