pupillary reflex
Pupillary reflex is an involuntary response in the eyes where the pupils constrict or dilate in response to light intensity changes. It helps regulate the amount of light that reaches the retina and protects the eye from excessive illumination. The reflex is controlled by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. This reflex is often assessed during neurological exams to evaluate the functioning of the nervous system.
