Abstract

Using albino rabbits, auther studied pupillary response on various drugs after destruction of ciliary ganglion or its post ganglionic fibers. Right eye was used as experimental group and left eye was used as control group. After destruction of ciliary ganglion or its post ganglionic fibers on right eye, right pupil was larger than the left. By cocaine and mydriacyl test, intactness of sympathetic channel was confirmed and by 0.125% and 1% pilocarpine test, supersensitivity of right pupillary sphincter was demonstrated. So, the auther think 0.125% pilocarpine test is a useful method to test supersensitivity of the sphincter after destruction of parasympathetic channel.
