The pupil is supersensitive to cholinergics but dilates to mydriatics normally. Holmes Adie pupil by itself is rare. Herpes zoster ophthalmicus as a cause of Holmes Adie pupil is still a more rare presentation. This presentation is one such rare combination of Holmes Adie pupil following herpes zoster ophthalmicus.
