What is pupilometer?

A pupilometer is an instrument used to measure the diameter of the pupil of the eye. This device is commonly used in optometry and ophthalmology to assess pupil size, shape, and reactivity.

Pupilometers use various technologies to measure pupil size, including infrared light, video imaging, and laser-based systems. By accurately measuring the pupil size, eye care professionals can gather important information about the health of the eye and the functioning of the nervous system, as well as determine the appropriate prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.

In addition to measuring pupil size, some pupilometers are also equipped with features that allow for the assessment of pupillary reflexes, such as the constriction response to light or near stimuli. This information can be useful in diagnosing certain eye conditions or neurological disorders.

Overall, pupilometers play an important role in the diagnosis and management of various eye conditions, and are a valuable tool for eye care professionals in providing optimal vision care to their patients.
