Study summary

This study is evaluating the pupil dilation of Horner's Patients who have ever taken an alpha blocker such as Tamsulosin. Patients will undergo eye dilation as would occur at a yearly eye examination, but their pupil dilation measurements will be recorded.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll 10 participants who have a unilateral Horner's Syndrome AND have a history of taking an alpha blocker such as Tamsulosin. Participants will be recruited based on those two enrollment criteria, and after consenting they will undergo pupil dilation with 10% phenylephrine. Once fully dilated the pupil size will be measured. Pupil dilation size of the eye affected by the Horner's Syndrome will be compared to the eye not affected by Horner's. Primary study outcome is the comparative dilation size of the Horner's affected eye to the non affected eye in all subjects.

    10% phenylephrine

    All patients will receive 10% phenylephrine at their eye examination as the drug to dilate the pupil. After pupil dilation, pupil size will be measured.

    Drug: 10% phenylephrine

Interventions

  • Drug10% phenylephrine

    10% phenylephrine is a drug that can be used to dilate patient's eyes at their yearly eye examination. All enrolled subjects will receive this drug for their eye dilation.
