Brief Answer:
Something may be wrong with the brain

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The pupils are somehow connected to the brain and sluggish reaction to light may indicate things might not be all okay with the brain. I would be able to suggest further if you could elaborate on the problem.

I would await your response. Hope I have answered your query.

Thank you.
