Miosis - Definitions

Definitions

Definitions of miosis include:

  • Constriction of the pupil that is excessive, which may potentially be interpreted as being relative to what would be expected by the amount of light the pupil receives
  • Constriction of the pupil to a diameter of less than two millimeters
  • Constriction of the pupil with causes including both abnormal and physiological ones.
  • Pupillary constriction by abnormal causes.

Famous quotes containing the word definitions:

    Lord Byron is an exceedingly interesting person, and as such is it not to be regretted that he is a slave to the vilest and most vulgar prejudices, and as mad as the winds?
    There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
