Holmes-Adie syndrome (HAS) is a
neurological disorder affecting the pupil of the eye and the autonomic nervous
system. It is characterized by one eye with a pupil that is larger than
normal and constricts slowly in bright light (tonic pupil), along with the
absence of deep tendon reflexes, usually in the Achilles tendon.
HAS begins gradually in one eye, and often
progresses to involve the other eye. At first, it may only cause the loss
of deep tendon reflexes on one side of the body, but then progress to the other
side. The eye and reflex symptoms may not appear at the same time.
People with HAS may also sweat excessively, sometimes only on one side of the
body.

article published on ninds.nih.gov.
At the end we would like to say that you
should visit your eye doctor regularly to retain healthy eyesight and detection
of eye problems. Get an eye exam once a year. For more help related to your eye
