Miotic Adie's pupils.
Two young adults, aged 24 and 31, had a long history of small, poorly reactive pupils. There was no history of large pupils, and a review of old photographs confirmed 10 and 5 years, respectively, of miosis. Both were found to have bilateral tonic pupils that were supersensitive to diluted pilocarpine. Although it is possible that they had an unusually early onset of bilateral Adie's syndrome with dilated pupils that was not noticed, it is suggested that some patients might have primary miotic Adie's pupils without ever passing through a mydriatic phase.
