Abstract

Holmes Adies pupil is a type of pupil with parasympathetic denervation in which the affected pupil is large, poorly reacting to light, but reacting better to accommodation. 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.
