pupillary
Concerning iris aperture
Pupillary relates to the pupil of the eye—the dark circular opening that admits light.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical and scientific contexts: pupillary response, pupillary dilation, pupillary reflex.
Doctors test pupillary reactions to assess neurological function.
