Description |
Hand-held equipment used to measure a relative afferent pupillary defect and to record pupil sizes. Four neutral density filters (0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 log units) are conveniently carried in a soft cloth carrying pouch. A bright light source (a Finhoff model illuminator is shown here) is ideal for stimulating the direct pupillary response. A pupil gauge is necessary to quantify pupil diameters when evaluating anisocoria. |
