When checking for the pupils' reactivity to light. i know we do the right from the right side of the patient with light being brought from the patients right temporal side.What about the left side???Do we move to the left and do the same thing or do we use our left hand and stay in the same position?Please respond.

It doesn't relly matter, you only need to be able to look what's going on, so sometimes is more comfortable to change your position, than having to lean over the patient.
