Effects of Stress, Massage and Yoga on Adie's Pupil
NOV 26, 2013
Question:
Can stress worsen Adie's pupil? Are yoga and massage therapy recommended treatments?
Answer:
I am not aware of the effects of stress, yoga, or massage on Adie's pupil. This is generally a benign condition and asymptomatic, and nothing usually needs to be done to differentiate it from other pupillary problems. If the reading vision is blurred, sometimes a weak-strength pilocarpine eyedrop is helpful. Your ophthalmologist could suggest a consultation with a neuro-ophthalmologist to confirm the diagnosis.
