In eye care, it is best known for widening the pupil in dim light and helping hold the upper eyelid slightly open. Clinicians use knowledge of this pathway to interpret symptoms like unequal pupils (anisocoria) or a mild droopy eyelid (ptosis). It is also discussed when evaluating certain neurologic conditions, such as Horner syndrome."}
