| Description |
Pharmacological testing with apraclonidine eye drops aids the diagnosis of Horner syndrome by inducing a typical reversal of anisocoria (1). Moreover, apraclonidine has been observed to increase the palpebral fissure height in Horner syndrome (2) as well as in healthy subjects (3), which is thought to be mediated by alpha-1-receptors present in the Muller muscle. We investigated the effect of apraclonidine on eyelid position in patients with Horner syndrome and physiological anisocoria based on infrared video recordings. |
