Show STATE OF THE ART Clinical Applications of Pupillography Helmut Wilhelm, MD, and Barbara Wilhelm, MD Abstract: The development of personal computer- based infrared video instruments has allowed pupillography to enter the clinical arena. Measuring pupil diameter for refractive surgery, distinguishing Horner syndrome from physiologic anisocoria, quantifying the relative afferent pupillary defect, and plotting visual fields by means of graded pupil constriction to focal light stimuli are recent applications in ophthalmology. Pupillography has also been used to determine sleepiness and autonomic effects of new pharmaceuticals. ( JNeuro- Ophthalmol 2003; 23: 42^ 19) Pupil examination is usually done with a flashlight and a pupil gauge, and this is sufficient in most cases. Why then consider using expensive and sometimes complicated instruments? There are some good reasons: ( 1) measurements can be performed more accurately; ( 2) additional parameters can be measured, such as pupil latency time; ( 3) findings can be documented and compared from examination to examination; ( 4) observations are not influenced by examiner bias; ( 5) normal values can be established to distinguish more clearly between pathologic and normal findings; ( 6) new information about pupil behavior can be obtained which allows a better understanding of physiology and pathophysiology. NEW TECHNIQUES Pupillography is now mostly carried out by recording the pupil with an infrared video camera ( 1). The video frames are digitized and transferred to a personal computer, usually with a frame grabber interface. Image processing software detects the pupil on each single frame and University of Tuebingen Medical School, Department of Pathophysiology of Vision and Neuro- ophfhalmology, Eye Hospital, D 72076, Tuebingen, Germany.

The processing speed of modern personal computers allows the construction of pu-pillographs that measure the pupil in real time at 25 to 60 times per second, depending on the video frame rate. Advances in image processing technology have resulted in instruments that are easier to handle and more reliable than previous solutions. The standard video frame rate of 25 to 60 Hertz ( Hz) limits temporal resolution to 16.7 to 40 milliseconds ( msec). However, where high temporal resolution is needed, a CCD- array camera ( 2,3) may be an alternative, offering a time resolution of 4 milliseconds, which is sufficient for slow movements like those of the pupil. Commercially available pupillographic devices ( Table 1), which range in price from $ 3,000 to $ 30 000, differ remarkably because each instrument is designed for a special purpose. Some instruments are specialized for very high spatial or temporal resolution; others offer the possibility of stable, continuous, long- term recordings of the pupil size. The bit sampling of the analog to digital data may also limit the ability to resolve small changes in pupil size ( 8- bit sampling is adequate; 10- or 12- bit sampling is optimal). Many instruments come without a standardized light stimulus; some instruments supply a great variety of light stimuli, while others are optimized to compare the light reflexes of both eyes. Most instruments allow the recording of only one pupil at a time; others consist of binocular systems. Because of the possibility of unequal direct and consensual pupil reactions, binocular dual channel pupillometers are best suited for clinical application in neuro- ophthalmology, where swinging flashlight test and measuring of pupillary dilation lag are the most common applications. Some instruments allow simultaneous recording of eye movements; others are capable of recording accommodation based on the intensity profile of the fundus reflex exiting the pupil. CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF PUPILLOGRAPHY Pupil Diameter in Refractive Surgery In refractive surgery, the pupil diameter in darkness is an important variable when determining the diameter of the ablation zone ( 2,3).

The upper graph shows the original pupillogram, the lower part its first derivative. Such recordings have been used in many studies. Typical parameters of evaluation are latency time ( 0 to A), peak time ( 0 to B), constriction time ( A to B), 23 redilation time ( B to C) as temporal parameters, baseline diameter ( pupil size between 0 and A), and constriction amplitude ( difference in size between A and B). Relative amplitudes can be calculated ( constriction amplitude divided by baseline size). Maximum constriction or dilation speed can be obtained from the first derivative of the pupillogram. The terminology of pupillography is not uniform; some authors use the term " latency" instead of " peak time." ( Recorded with the AMTech Compact Integrated Pupillograph ™ Time unit = msec). light could lead to false results- usually an underestimation of pupil diameter. Recording the pupil size over a certain time period and using varying lighting conditions, for at least 10 to 30 seconds, leads to more realistic results with a FIG. 3. Pupil campimetry in right hemianopia. The small columns indicate the averages of four light reflex amplitudes, markedly smaller in the blind right hemifield. ( Recorded with a customized pupillographic campimetry system in our department). lower risk of underestimation. In these applications, it is important to control accommodation to prevent a pupil near contraction. Objective Assessment of Visual Function Although accurate measurement of pupillary response to light offers the potential of an objective assessment of visual function across the anterior visual pathway, interindividual differences have limited this application. Constriction amplitude of the pupillary light reflex ( PLR) is proportional to the logarithm of the retinal light flux for midrange photopic stimuli ( Fig 1) ( 1). Latency is inversely proportional to log light intensity.

Unfortunately, interindividual differences of light reflex parameters are enormous. This is different from pattern visual evoked potentials ( VEP), where a reliable normal range can be defined. However, the VEP is weighted to measure the function primarily of the central retina, whereas the PER is efficient at spatial summation over large areas of the retina. Hence the pupil light reflex in response to a diffuse flash better reflects the global function of the retina ( 4,5). Unlike the VEP, the latency of the PLR is not significantly prolonged in inflammatory optic nerve disease ( 6), and therefore cannot replace the VEP in this function. Because of interindividual differences that have yet to be successfully normalized across subjects, the correlation between parameters of the PLR and the visual field is best suited to comparing the input of the two eyes. Afferent Pupillary Defect Pupillography is well suited to reliable measurement of an afferent pupil defect. The swinging flashlight test, although easy to perform clinically, has its pitfalls. First, physiologic anisocoria or immobility of one pupil may lead to difficulties in interpreting the results of the swinging flashlight test carried out manually. Second, the normal variability of the PLR makes it necessary to compare multiple swings. Yet virtually no examiner is able to remember and mentally average the pupillary responses to more than just a few swings. Most examiners therefore stop testing as soon as the expected result is obtained, long before a sufficient number of swings have been performed to overcome short- term variability. There are several advantages to carrying out the swinging flashlight test automatically ( Fig. 2) ( 7- 10). To obtain a reliable assessment of an afferent pupil defect, one must measure simultaneously in the two eyes to compensate for natural differences in the midbrain decussations of the interneuron of the PLR, asymmetric supranuclear influences on the Edinger- Westphal nucleus, and possibly efferent differences in innervation of the two pupils. A binocular pupillographic device is ideally suited to this task. Additionally, a more exact measurement of the amount of a relative afferent pupillary defect is possible by comparing PLRs at different intensities. It has been shown that the pupil reacts even on changes of pattern, colors, and motion, even if there is no change in light flux ( 11). This phenomenon requires sophisticated stimulation techniques. Testing of higher visual functions objectively may be a future possibility ( 12). A final and most important advantage Copyright © Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Visual Field Defects Pupil campimetry is an attempt to provide objective measurement of visual field defects ( Fig. 3) ( 13- 17). The basic concept is to stimulate small areas of the retina and elicit a graded constriction of the pupil depending on the integrity of local visual function. Perimetric stimuli must be small and dim to elicit a local visual response rather than one generated from a wider retinal area receiving stray light. The pupillomotor field shows a profile similar to that of the visual field as measured psychophysical^ with standard stimuli: the highest sensitivity is in the center and in the nasal inferior retina ( superior temporal field). Pupillo-graphic visual fields, using M- sequence stimulation, have also allowed reasonable estimation of visual field defects ( 18), but this method requires that the subject not blink during the recording intervals. Alternative methods of objective measurement of the visual field, including multifocal electroretinography and multifocal visual evoked potentials, also have limitations. Multifocal electroretinography can map the visual field only if the lesion is located in the retinal receptors ( 19). Multifocal visual evoked potentials are not quite clinically applicable. The initial published results, although promising, allow only a relatively coarse estimation of visual field defects ( 20); however, the use of additional electrodes seems to improve this technique ( 21). Horner Syndrome Dilation lag, referring to delayed enlargement of the pupil when light is withdrawn, is a characteristic feature of Horner syndrome ( 22). A normal pupil usually dilates within approximately 5 seconds after the room light is switched off; in Horner syndrome, it may take 15 to 20 seconds. This means that the amount of anisocoria increases during the first phase of the pupillary dilation ( 5 to 7 seconds) and decreases in the second phase ( 7 to 15 seconds). In physiologic anisocoria, there is no dilation lag, so pupil size difference remains constant following light withdrawal. The measurement of pupil dilation lag is therefore a useful means of differentiating Horner syndrome from physiologic anisocoria ( Fig. 4) ( 23). However, observing the dynamic movement ( dilation) of the pupils simultaneously in darkness may be clinically difficult. Infrared light is required to optimally visualize the dynamics of dilation of both pupils simultaneously. PupiUography accurately measures the speed Copyright © Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Pupillography is the only method of reliable diagnosis of dilation lag in binocular Horner syndrome ( 24). Sleepiness Changes in the pupillary diameter in complete darkness can only be caused by accommodation or by innerva-tional changes in the central and peripheral sympathetic system that determine the pupillary baseline diameter. When a subject becomes sleepy, large amplitude slow pupillary oscillations occur ( Fig. 5) ( 25). These " sleepiness waves" correlate well with the time of sleep deprivation ( 26). Differences in these oscillations clearly distinguish between treated and untreated sleep apnea patients, and between normal subjects from those with hypersomnias ( 27- 29). To record these sleepiness waves requires long- term pupillography, typically 11 minutes in darkness and quiet. Droopy eyelids, large eye movements, or dry eyes may cause artifacts or interrupt the measurement. Special instrumentation and software have overcome these problems ( 30). As a result, measuring sleepiness objectively by pupillography has become an accepted procedure in sleep medicine. The " pupillographic sleepiness test" is less time-consuming and personnel- intensive than other objective tests, such as the multiple sleep latency test. In Germany, this pupil test has been applied not only in sleep medicine, but also in industrial and traffic medicine. Autonomic Effects of Pharmaceuticals Any drug that acts on the central nervous system affects the pupillogram ( 31). For most substances, it is difficult to predict which arm of the autonomous nervous system will be most influenced ( 32). Pupil dilation can be observed after either parasympatholytic or sympathomimetic drugs, and pupil constriction after parasympathomimetics or sympatholytics. The pupillogram provides sensitive information on cholinergic or adrenergic effects. The latency of the pupillary light reflex is predominantly regu- Copyright © Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

By blocking the dilator muscle with dapiprazole eye drops, one can determine whether pupil dilation is caused by central inhibition of cholinergic activity. Additionally, by applying the pupillographic sleepiness test, sedative effects of a drag can be assessed objectively ( 32). Psychiatric Disorders Pupillography has also been used to objectively measure emotional responses ( 33). Fear, anger, or stress dilate the pupil, an effect called the " psychosensory pupillary response" ( 34). Psychosensory pupil dilation is often less than 0.3 mm, and can be hidden within the normal, spontaneous oscillations of pupil size, which are of the same magnitude. Therefore, pupillography is necessary to isolate the psychosensory response, mostly by averaging several response reflexes similar to what is done to extract the VEP from the EEG recording. ( Fig. 6). Patients with different psychiatric disorders will display different emotional reactions to stimuli presented to them ( 35). For example, an alcoholic patient will react differently to the smell of whisky if this patient is a recidivist risk after withdrawal therapy ( 36). Pupillographic data exist in a great number of psychiatric patients, ( 34,35) but the data have not been sufficiently confirmed to allow their clinical application. However, the use of pupillography in psychiatric disorders is promising. Alzheimer Disease The initial pupillographic results in Alzheimer disease following the application of diluted tropicamide could not be reproduced and have been dismissed as unreliable ( 37- 40).

However, although significant differences between normal and patients with diabetes and between different groups of patients with diabetes can be demonstrated for a variety of parameters, the great variance of data does not allow a clear statement in an individual case ( 41,42).
