Summary
This reply letter examines how panretinal photocoagulation affects pupil size, with particular focus on the role of ipRGCs in mediating the pupillary light reflex independently of classical photoreceptors. Understanding ipRGC contributions to pupillary responses has implications for assessing retinal health and calibrating light exposure recommendations for patients with retinal damage.
