Features: Vision of the affected eye is normal There is no reaction to light Accommodation reflex is intact because the fibers that mediate the pupillary near response lie ventral to the internuncial neurons that enter the Edinger Westphal nucleus. The pupils are miotic and irregular The pupils dilate very poorly with mydriatics Ref: Textbook of Ophthalmology edited by Sunita Agarwal PAGE 305.
