ACCOMODATION
 PUPILLARY LIGHT REFLEX

• Pupillary reflex is a reflex that controls the diameter of the pupil, in

response to the intensity of light that falls on the retina in the back of the
eye,

• In humans the pupils of both eyes constrict equally when light is shone
into only one eye

• help assisting in adaptation to various levels of lightness or darkness

greater intensity of light causes the pupil to constrict while lower
intensity causes the pupil to dilate
 TYPES OF PUPILLARY LIGHT REFLEX-

• Direct pupillary reflex;

is pupillary response to light that enters the ipsilateral (same) eye

• Consensual pupillary reflex;

is response of a pupil to light that enters the contralateral
(opposite) eye
