Abstract
The pupillary light reflex regulates the amount of light reaching the retina. A clinical evaluation of the pupillary response reveals valuable information about the integrity of the structures involved in the pupil reflex. This article seeks to outline the neural pathway underlying pupil constriction and provides a guide to assessing pupillary light reaction to detect a relative afferent pupillary defect.
