As a medication, lysine is used probably most commonly in the treatment of herpes simplex labialis, better known simply as herpes or cold sores. It works best as a preventative option, although it can reduce how long an outbreak lasts.
Anisocoria is a condition in which the two pupils of the eye are different sizes; in other words one pupil is larger than the other. In some cases, the abnormal pupil may be the one that is smaller and in other cases the abnormal pupil may be the one that is larger.
A pupillary response can be intentionally conditioned as a Pavlovian response to some stimuli. The latency of pupillary response (the time in which it takes to occur) increases with age. Use of central nervous system stimulant drugs and some hallucinogenic drugs can cause dilation of the pupil. In ophthalmology, intensive studies of pupillary response are conducted via videopupillometry. Anisocoria is the condition of one pupil being more dilated than the other.
