What condition does "Anisocoria" refer to regarding pupil appearance?

Two equally sized pupils
One large and one small pupil
Pupils that are excessively dilated
Pupils that do not react to light

The correct answer is: One large and one small pupil

Anisocoria is the medical term used to describe a condition where there is a noticeable difference in size between the two pupils of the eyes. This means that one pupil is larger than the other, which is precisely what choice B describes. This condition can be a result of various factors, including neurological issues, trauma, or even certain medications. While the other options describe different states of pupil appearance, they do not accurately define anisocoria. For instance, option A refers to pupils that are the same size, which does not align with anisocoria. Option C describes pupils that are excessively dilated, which could be a separate condition known as mydriasis but does not necessarily represent anisocoria unless one pupil is dilated and the other is not. Option D discusses a lack of reaction to light, which is more about pupil response rather than size and does not capture the essence of anisocoria.
