3 Common Pupil Reactions after a Concussion

Blurred vision, double vision, and decreased peripheral vision are the 3 major changes in pupils due to brain injury. The modern-day pupilometer helps pupillary evaluation and thereby assists in treating head-injured patients.

  2. Brain injury leads to a constellation of visual problems of, sensory, motor, and perceptual problems. The visual dysfunction is related to the pupillary light reflex. • Clinicians use the cutting-edge Pupilometer to perform a pupillary evaluationto point outthe abnormalities in steady-state pupil dynamics and size and thereby assess the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. The device helps measure pupil sizein drug injury and fatigue and gauges the metabolism of drugs. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  3. Researchers found, as compared to normals, that pupil reaction is found to be reasonably delayed and reduced after a concussion. However, they are found to be symmetrical with a smaller baseline diameter. Various pupillary parameters also differentiated them without photosensitivity. • Following are the three major pupil reactions that follow a concussion. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  4. Blurred Vision – In this medical condition, your capacity to switch focus between far and near objects may be exposed to danger. This phenomenon is known as Blurred vision. • Double Vision - In such conditions, your eyes stop working jointly in the right way, even to the point of undergoing double vision. • Decreased peripheral vision - Peripheral vision loss implies the retention of central vision with the loss of wide-angle field vision. Such conditions occur due to glaucoma, concussions, or retinitis pigmentosa. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  5. Clinically, abnormal pupil reaction and size offer important clues to detecting the nature and site of various lesions along their extensive afferent and efferent pathways. • Thepupil diameter measurement is done in case of traumatic brain injury.A dynamic pupillometry provides many objective biomarkers for the presence of photosensitive and mild traumatic brain injury, gives insight into the global sites of possible related mechanisms and neurological dysfunction, and should result in improved patient care. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  6. Conclusion • Because of increased internal pressure in case of a brain injury, the pupil goes through various transformations. NPI 300 pupilometer helps treat head injury. Besides measuring pupillary size and response, it is also beneficial for the pupillary response in traumatic brain injury. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com
