PERRLA


Explanation:
PERRLA; Pupils Equal Round and Reactive to Light and Accommodation

While performing an assessment of the eyes, the examiner notes whether the pupils are equal and round, reactive to light, and have the ability to accommodate. If all findings are normal, the abbreviation PERRLA is noted in the examiner's account of the physical examination

It seems to be a typo or is Non Reactive. You can tell from the context
If there is no more onformation you can uses PERL, PERRL or PERRLA, but the last is the preffered one.



Example sentence(s):
  • The popular acronym PERRLA—pupils equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation—is a convenient but incomplete description of pupillomotor function.
  • The 7 variables used for chart review were: eye movements, PERRLA (pupils equal, round, reactive to light and accommodation), blood pressure, pulses, reflexes, muscle strength, and rectal examination.
