In glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve and affect the eye's ability to regulate dilation. The muscles that control pupil size may become less responsive due to nerve damage or changes in the eye's structure. As a result, the pupil may become fixed or dilate less effectively, leading to reduced responsiveness to light and other stimuli. This diminished reaction can be a sign of the underlying disease affecting normal eye function.
