The Pupillary Light Reflex Reveals Greater Glaucomatous Damage at Brighter Stimulus Intensity

Currently it is not known how the pupil light reflex is affected by optic neuropathies such as glaucoma. It is possible that pupil testing may be a more sensitive method of detecting and monitoring of progression of optic neuropathy compared to other means of assessing optic nerve damage. In the present study we evaluated the pupil light reflex as an objective means of detecting optic neuropathy in an experimental model of glaucoma
