Do you know what PERRLA stands for? 👀 It stands for: →Pupils Equal – both pupils are the same size →Round – both pupils are round →Reactive to Light – the pupils constrict when exposed to light (BOTH should constrict even if only one is exposed) →Accommodation – the eyes adjust focus for near objects (they move inward, the pupils constrict, and the lens changes shape when something moves closer) So basically, PERRLA acts as a baseline for normal pupil response. ✅ ⭐️Save this for your next clini
