Lesions to the oculomotor nerve will cause an efferent pupillary defect. Light presented to the normal eye will cause both pupils to constrict,but light presented to the affected eye will cause only the consensual pupil to constrict.

i think so too.

if the CN III is damaged, the affected pupil will NOT constrict, irrespective of which eye u shine light into

Lesions to the oculomotor nerve will cause an efferent pupillary defect. Light presented to either eye will cause the pupil on the normal side to constrict, but the affected pupil will not.
