Pupil Laboratory: Projects

• Pupil Light Reflex (PLR)

  • Relative afferent pupillary defects in patients with geniculate and retrogeniculate lesions
  • Retinal asymmetry and contraction anisocoria in the pupillomotor system
  • Pupil perimetry using m-sequence stimulation technique
  • Pupillary light reflexes in patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON)
  • Influence of dorzolamide on accommodation or pupil?
  • Pupillographic confirmation of optic nerve disease

• Pupillographic Sleepiness Test (PST)

  • Mathematical procedures in data recording and processing of pupillary fatigue waves
  • Pupillographic assessment of sleepiness in sleep-deprived healthy subjectss
  • Objective measurement of severity and therapeutic effect in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome by the pupillographic sleepiness test
  • Pupillographic sleepiness test for therapy control in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome after three months nCPAP
  • Pupillographic sleepiness test in normals
  • Daytime variation in central nervous system activity measured by the pupillographic sleepiness test
  • Variability of spontaneous pupillary behaviour

• Accommodation

  • Interocular differences in accommodation and pupillary near reaction
  • Fatigue affects pupillary near response but not accommodation
