Pupillary Light Reflex

Putting non-image forming responses to light into practice
Beyond vision, light triggers a variety of non-image forming responses. Amongst these is the pupillary light reflex, commonly used by ophthalmologists to gauge the function of the optic nerve head. In my talk, I will share some of our latest work on optimizing the use of the pupillary light reflex to detect functional loss in ocular diseases in clinics.
How do ipRGCs work? Evidence from the pupil light reflex
Since the discovery of the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) – just two decades ago – substantial work has been carried out trying to understand their functioning. In this seminar, I’ll focus on pupillometry studies that have provided key clues about ipRGC behavior. Specifically, the interaction between the intrinsic response, rods, and cones will be discussed.
