Pupillography of automated swinging flashlight test in amblyopia

Relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPDs) in amblyopia have been reported, and it is widely accepted that amblyopes can have an RAPD. We investigated whether or not this could be confirmed by the use of binocular pupillography. We examined twelve patients (6 males and 6 females, aged 7-57 years) with unilateral amblyopia associated with anisometropia and/or strabismus, using binocular infrare...

Computerized binocular pupillography of the swinging flashlight test detects afferent pupillary defects.

PURPOSE To investigate the ability of a portable pupillometer, capable of 20-second binocular recordings of the swinging flashlight test (SFT), to detect relative afferent pupillary defects (rAPDs). METHODS Pupillary response curves were recorded from both eyes in healthy volunteers (n = 22) with and without simulated rAPDs (using neutral density filters (NDFs)) and in abnormal patients (n = ...

Portable pupillography of the swinging flashlight test to detect afferent pupillary defects.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ability of a portable, personal computer-driven, pupillometer to record the pupillary response curve during the swinging flashlight test. Also, to determine whether these response curves can be used to identify and quantify relative asymmetry in the pupillary light reflex between eyes in healthy volunteers with simulated afferent pupil defects (APDs) and patients wi...

The usefulness of a new method of testing for a relative afferent pupillary defect in patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

PURPOSE To evaluate the validity of different methods of relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) detection and assess the usefulness of detecting an RAPD in glaucoma patients. METHODS For this prospective observational study, we enrolled 70 of 153 consecutive glaucoma patients coming for examination. Exclusion criteria were cloudy corneas, recent surgery, fixed pupils, and other diseases pr...
