  2. Our bran is much smarter and more nuanced than we realize. There is a popular belief that eyes are all that can be seen of a person's brain from the outside. Non-medical folks, on the other hand, don't give much thought to how pupil diagnosis might aid in the treatment of brain damage or neurological issues. This article will go over four different types of diagnoses that may help with neurological therapy. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  3. Pupillary response in traumatic brain injury • Symptoms of traumatic brain damage include cognitive, attentional, and sensorimotor abnormalities, which may negatively influence everyday activities. Using an anti-saccade task, we studied if and how TBI affects the amount of time it takes to pay attention to a stimulus. After a visual cue is shown, an anti-saccade will be conducted to assess pupillary reaction latencies (i.e., the time necessary for pupils to dilate in response to the allocation of attention). ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  4. Pupillary light reflex • One of the mechanisms that aid the eye's ability to adjust its vision to different light and dark conditions is known as the pupillary light reflex (PLR), which regulates the pupil's width in reaction to how much light falls on its retinal ganglion cells in the rear of the eye. The pupil contracts (miosis/myosis; therefore letting less light in) when the light intensity is higher, whereas the pupil dilates when the light intensity is lower (mydriasis, expansion; thereby allowing more light in). As a result, the pupillary light reflex regulates the amount of light that enters the eye. Both pupils will constrict if the light is directed into one eye. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  5. Pupil diameter measurement • Since a component of neurological examination, pupil diameter measurement is significant, as changes in pupil size and equality may give critical diagnostic information in the critically sick patient. The size and shape of each pupil should be the same. Pupils' examination is an essential supplement to the Glasgow Coma Scale, particularly when the patient's degree of awareness is diminished. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com

  6. Pupil reactivity • In intense light, the diameter of an adult's pupil ranges from 2 to 4 millimeters to 4 to 8 millimeters. The size of the pupils is often the same. To direct light (reaction) and light from the opposite eye, they constrict (consensual response). In the dark, the pupil widens. Both pupils contract when the eye is focused on a nearby object (accommodative response). It's abnormal if the pupil doesn't dilate when it's dark or constrict when it becomes bright. ©Copyright by Neuroptics.com
