 The Role of the Pupil
The pupil is a dynamic structure affected by pupillary hippus (28) emotional status (29) and systemic medications including antihistamines and opiates (30).
Pupil size is arguably the most important predictor of night vision disturbances, but obtaining an accurate measurement is sometimes difficult.
Even patients that have not had refractive surgery experience pupil-dependent aberrations (13) physiologic entoptic halos (15), and light scatter from spectacle and contact lens surfaces(2) All these factors contribute to a baseline level of night vision disturbance prior to refractive surgery.

 The Mavens' Word of the Day
Pupil is an interesting example of a Latin word that evolved in two different ways.
Going back to Latin, the word pupilla in the sense 'a little doll' was also used to mean 'the pupil of the eye', in reference to the tiny reflections of oneself one sees in another person's pupil.
This semantic shift is also found in Greek, where the word kore (long e) also meant 'girl', 'doll', and 'pupil'; the sense development of the Latin word is either parallel to, or borrowed from, this Greek development.
