What is Pupillary changes

Pupillary changes are changes in the size and shape of the pupil, which is the black circle in the center of the eye.The pupil usually dilates (opens) and contracts (closes) in response to light and other stimuli.Abnormal pupillary changes can indicate a variety of issues, from eye problems to neurological issues.Unilateral pupillary changes (when one pupil is larger or smaller than the other) can be a sign of a serious eye condition such as glaucoma or retinal detachment.If a patient is experiencing pupillary changes, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible in order to diagnose and treat the condition in a timely manner.Diagnosis and treatment of pupillary changes can help prevent vision loss or other complications.

    2. Glasses: Wearing glasses can help refocus light entering the eyes, which can help improve vision and reduce pupillary changes.
    3. Vitamin Supplements: Taking vitamins such as B-Complex, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the eyes, which can help with pupillary changes.
    4. Eye Exercises: Doing simple eye exercises such as tracking a moving object, focusing and refocusing, and palming can help improve eye muscles, reduce eye strain, and reduce pupillary changes.
    5. Rest: Taking regular breaks to rest and relax the eyes can help reduce eye strain, reduce inflammation, and improve the symptoms associated with pupillary changes.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.
