Eyeball Injury
An extreme eye injury can cause a globe rupture where the eyeball can split open. This can be due to trauma directly on the eye or around the eye. Watch this episode of A State of Sight with Isaac Porter, MD to learn more about this injury and the eye surgery options to help save the eye and restore vision.[…][eyeporter.com]

. 19 Severity can range from pupillary strands or an isolated Mittendorf dot, to more severe forms with retrolenticular membranes, retinal dysplasia, or detachment. 1, 3,[doi.org]
In other mice, both a - and b - wave amplitude reductions were seen, due in part to poor pupillary dilation.[doi.org]
Overdose

, sweating, chills, anorexia, nausea or vomiting, insomnia, and abnormal behaviour such as aggression, grandiosity, hypervigilance, agitation, and impaired judgement.[who.int]
Stimulants can give rise to symptoms suggestive of intoxication, including tachycardia, pupillary dilatation, elevated blood pressure, hyperreflexia, sweating, chills, nausea[who.int]
Cerebral Hemorrhage
Of note, 3 of the 7 patients with pupillary abnormalities made a good recovery, as did 4 of the 8 with clots 60 mL.[doi.org]
Lack of abnormal pupillary response to light and the visibility of basal cisterns may increase the need for urgent care.[emedicine.com]

Opiate Overdose
INTRODUCTION: The global epidemic of opiate use continues to spread and is an increasing burden especially in developing countries. Acute opiate overdose (AOO) is one of the most dramatic complications of drug abuse. The purpose of this study is to examine the epidemiology of acute opiate overdose in a poisoning[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
