  2. Pupillometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillometry

    Traditionally, pupil measurements have been performed in a subjective manner by using a penlight or flashlight to manually evaluate pupil reactivity (sPLR, "s" stands for standard) and using a pupil gauge to estimate pupil size. However, manual pupillary assessment is subject to significant inaccuracies and inconsistencies.

  3. Fixation (visual) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixation_(visual)

    Fixation or visual fixation is the maintaining of the gaze on a single location. An animal can exhibit visual fixation if it possess a fovea in the anatomy of their eye. The fovea is typically located at the center of the retina and is the point of clearest vision. The species in which fixational eye movement has been verified thus far include ...

  4. Visual pathway lesions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_pathway_lesions

    The visual pathway consists of structures that carry visual information from the retina to the brain.Lesions in that pathway cause a variety of visual field defects. In the visual system of human eye, the visual information processed by retinal photoreceptor cells travel in the following way:

  5. Pupillary distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_distance

    Distance PD is the separation between the visual axes of the eyes in their primary position, as the subject fixates on an infinitely distant object. [2] Near PD is the separation between the visual axes of the eyes, at the plane of the spectacle lenses, as the subject fixates on a near object at the intended working distance. [3]

  6. Relative afferent pupillary defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_afferent...

    The Marcus Gunn pupil is a relative afferent pupillary defect indicating a decreased pupillary response to light in the affected eye. [3] In the swinging flashlight test, a light is alternately shone into the left and right eyes. A normal response would be equal constriction of both pupils, regardless of which eye the light is directed at.

  7. Transsaccadic memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transsaccadic_memory

    Transsaccadic memory is the neural process that allows humans to perceive their surroundings as a seamless, unified image despite rapid changes in fixation points. . Transsaccadic memory is a relatively new topic of interest in the field of p

  8. Swinging light test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging_light_test

    For an adequate test, vision must not be entirely lost. In dim room light, the examiner notes the size of the pupils. The patient is asked to gaze into the distance, and the examiner swings the beam of a penlight back and forth from one pupil to the other, and observes the size of pupils and reaction in the eye that is lit.

  9. Pupillary response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_response

    Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. A constriction response ( miosis ), [ 1 ] is the narrowing of the pupil, which may be caused by scleral buckles or drugs such as opiates / opioids or anti-hypertension medications.
