light reflex
Light reflex is a physiological response of the pupil to change its size in response to light intensity. It is an involuntary process controlled by the autonomic nervous system that allows the eyes to adjust to varying light conditions to prevent damage and maintain optimal vision. This reflex involves two main reactions: the pupillary light reflex, which is constriction of the pupil in response to bright light, and the accommodation reflex, that is adapting the eye for near-vision. It's a fundamental part of eye examinations, indicating the health of the optic nerve and brain pathways.
