What is the pupil of Adie?
The pupil is a neurological state characterized by a lack of sensitivity to light in the eye. The eye normally responds very quickly to changes in light levels and adapts very quickly to preventing the covered vision. In a patient with an adie pupil, one or more eyes may have a delayed answer and it is not uncommon for one pupil to be extended more than the other. In fact, the characteristic feature of Adie's pupil is a permanently extended pupil that reacts poorly if at all, to changes in light levels. There are no muscles that usually do and withdraw, as reacting as they should be in a patient of Adie. The condition may be diagnosed with an ophthalmologist or neurologist, who can also recommend appropriate treatment. Medicines can also be used to control condition and symptoms and to maintain a more comfortable patient. If these measures do not work, surgery may be performed to tear part of the trunk of the sympathetic nerve. This procedure is only recommended if other measures do not work because it is sweatEncally risky and a very experienced surgeon must be performed, which is extremely familiar with the anatomy of the nerves in the area.
This condition is also known as Homes-Adie Syndrome or Adie Tonic Syndrome. If it is identified in the patient, the physician may try to determine the cause. It may be important to learn about this cause because the patient may be at risk of developing other problems and these problems can be avoided or seen by someone looking for them earlier. The patient and the doctor may also be able to know the origin of the conditions.
Adie pupil is permanent and can gradually deteriorate over time. For this reason, patients should take care of notifying new doctors about their condition during the initial sessions in order to take into account during the routine medical treatment. It is also important to accept regular eye tests and check further progression of the state and see if you need tomake changes in the patient treatment plan.
