A positive correlation was noted between anterior segment dimensions, and anterior chamber depth decreased with age. White-to-white corneal diameter and anterior chamber depth were not correlated with age (r=-0.096, P<.001) or anterior chamber depth (r=-0.183, P<.001-0.183) as a function of age.Īverage difference between photopic and mesopic pupil size remained constant across the range of ages included in this cohort. Anterior chamber depth and white-to-white corneal diameter were positively correlated (r=0.389, P<.001). The Neurological Pupil index (NPi), calculated by the Pupillometer, reflects a comparison of all measured variables in the PLR to known normal observations. 1-3 This optimal pupil size can be even smaller for highly aberrated eyes (eg, those with keratoconus or a history of radial keratotomy or LASIK). At this stage the pupils do not remain completely still, therefore may lead to oscillation, which may intensify and become known as hippus. For normal, well-focused eyes with an average level of HOAs, this interplay generally results in an optimum photopic pupil size of somewhere between 2 mm and 3 mm vis-à-vis visual acuity and retinal image quality. After 25 years of age, the average pupil size decreases, though not at a steady rate. Photopic and mesopic pupil size were highly correlated (r=0.694, P<.001) and the difference between both measures was positively correlated with mesopic pupil size (r=0.207, P<.001) and inversely correlated with photopic pupil size (r=0.561, P<.001). For example, at the peak age of 15, the dark-adapted pupil can vary from 4 mm to 9 mm with different individuals. Correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the relationships among anatomical parameters of the anterior segment of the eye.Īverage change in pupil size between mesopic and photopic conditions shows a uniform gap of 1.5 mm in patients aged 18 to 62 years with a slight insignificant trend to decrease with age. 1-3 This optimal pupil size can be even smaller for highly aberrated eyes (eg, those with keratoconus or a history of radial. Normal lighting can give you a normal pupil size of about 3.5 mm and 1.0 mm to 10 mm. For normal, well-focused eyes with an average level of HOAs, this interplay generally results in an optimum photopic pupil size of somewhere between 2 mm and 3 mm vis-à-vis visual acuity and retinal image quality.
Both pupils should be illuminated with the same intensity. The ophthalmoscope will become a living flashlight so that it can measure pupils from a distance. Nine hundred sixty-four myopic eyes (-3.00 to -20.00 diopters spherical equivalent refraction) were evaluated to measure mesopic and photopic pupil size with an infrared pupillometer anterior chamber depth and white-to-white corneal diameter were obtained with Orbscan II (Bausch & Lomb). This will measure the pupil accurately and precisely.
