What is the prognosis? Holmes-Adie syndrome is not life-threatening or disabling. The loss of deep tendon reflexes is permanent. Some symptoms of the disorder may progress. For most individuals, pilocarpine drops and glasses will improve vision. [web.archive.org]

Ten percent of cases are bilateral and the prognosis is benign. 1 Dorsal midbrain syndrome is characterized by several signs, including eyelid retraction, nystagmus, mid-dilated pupils with light-near dissociation, and paralysis of the upward gaze. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Adie's tonic pupil is not a life threatening disease, but can cause photophobia and blurry vision due to poor iris function. [eyewiki.org]

Adie's tonic pupil is benign neuro-ophthalmological disorder of unknown etiology. Most patients commonly present no symptoms and anisocoria is noticed accidentally. Although the etiology is unknown, there are some conditions that cause tonic pupil. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

At this time, the underlying etiology of this disease is unknown. [eyewiki.org]
