| Galassi's pupillary phenomenon | A constriction of both pupils when an effort is made to close eyelids forcibly held apart. A variant of the pupil response to near vision. Synonym: Galassi's pupillary phenomenon, Gifford's reflex, lid-closure reaction, orbicularis phenomenon, orbicularis pupillary reflex, Piltz sign, Westphal's pupillary reflex, Westphal-Piltz phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |

| paradoxical pupillary phenomenon | A pupillary response to light, the reverse of that expected; e.g., contraction of the pupil in response to turning the lights off. Synonym: Flynn phenomenon, paradoxical pupillary phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| paradoxical pupillary reflex | A pupillary response to light, the reverse of that expected; e.g., contraction of the pupil in response to turning the lights off. Synonym: Flynn phenomenon, paradoxical pupillary phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflex, pupillary | Constriction of the pupil in response to light stimulation of the retina. It refers also to any reflex involving the iris, with resultant alteration of the diameter of the pupil. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Westphal's pupillary reflex | A constriction of both pupils when an effort is made to close eyelids forcibly held apart. A variant of the pupil response to near vision. Synonym: Galassi's pupillary phenomenon, Gifford's reflex, lid-closure reaction, orbicularis phenomenon, orbicularis pupillary reflex, Piltz sign, Westphal's pupillary reflex, Westphal-Piltz phenomenon.

| white pupillary reflex | Reflection from a white mass within the eye giving the appearance of a white pupil. Synonym: leukokoria, white pupillary reflex. Origin: Leuko-white, + G. Kore, pupil (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary | 1. Of or pertaining to a pupil or ward. 2. <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the pupil of the eye. Origin: L. Pupillaris: cf. F.pupillaire. See Pupil. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| pupillary axis | A line perpendicular to the surface of the cornea, passing through the centre of the pupil; the "direction of gaze." (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary block glaucoma | Glaucoma secondary to failure of the aqueous humor to pass through the pupil to the anterior chamber. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary border of iris | The inner border of the iris that forms the edge of the pupil. Synonym: margo pupillaris iridis, pupillary margin of iris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary dilation | <ophthalmology> The action of stretching or enlarging the pupil for example by atropine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| pupillary distance | The distance between the centre of each pupil; the major reference points in measuring for fitting of spectacle frames and lenses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary functions, abnormal | Conditions in which the pupil does not react normally to dilation and constriction. Signs of pupillary abnormalities originate from the pupil's shape, position, and response to stimulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pupillary light-near dissociation | A stronger near pupil response than light response; due to weak pupillomotor input, Argyll Robertson pupil, dorsal midbrain syndrome, or to misdirection of ciliary muscle fibres into the iris sphincter. Synonym: light-near dissociation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pupillary margin of iris | The inner border of the iris that forms the edge of the pupil. Synonym: margo pupillaris iridis, pupillary margin of iris. (05 Mar 2000) |
