Under control of the parasympathetic system, '''pupillary constriction''' is an act of the iris constrictor muscle. The abnormal pupil may appear smaller if parasympathetic action goes unopposed. The presence of pupillary constriction should prompt an immediate evaluation for acute [[Horner's syndrome]].
