The oval pupil

Abstract

The dynamics of pupillary dilation induced by Phenylephrine 10% and Cyclopentolate 1 % have been examined by flash photography. A correlation between anterior chamber depth and the pupil shape on dilation with Phenylephrine Hydrochloride 10% is described. It is postulated that these pupillary dilation dynamics support a sympathetic abnormality as a trigger for acute primary angle closure glaucoma. © 1991, College of Ophthalmologists.
