H57.0: Anomalies of pupillary function

Your pupils are not responding correctly.

The colored iris is located in the center of the eye. There is a black opening in the center of the iris. This is the pupil. The iris also controls how big the pupil is. The pupils get smaller in the light and bigger in the dark.

Your pupils may be wider or narrower than usual. Your pupils may be of different widths. Your pupils may no longer be reacting to light.
