Analyzing the Pupillary Light Reflex
The Eyes are a Window
The pupillary light reflex is a lot like that check engine light. Sure, you can use a penlight to get a quick glimpse that there is a problem but how bad is the problem? What’s the expectation for repair? Will the problem have a measurable increase in performance when it gets fixed? The pupillary light reflex offers a much more detailed approach to this automotive analogy believe it or not.
Quantitative pupillometers are devices that measure the pupil’s diameter over a determined period of time. There is an expected response to light in the eye. If that response is different than expected, it may indicate abnormal function of the areas of the Brain involved in light reflex. This can carry over to abnormal function of the Brain in other areas of bodily function.
The ReflexPro Report
The ReflexPro report can give us information about the condition of the Brain. It can also help us detect and address the results of a concussion and monitor the person while they are recovering.
