Patent ID: 7204590

Claim:
A system for inducing and measuring a pupillary response in a subject comprising: an induction device structured to generate at least one stimuli, said induction device further structured to expose a primary eye of the subject to said at least one stimuli during a test cycle, said at least one stimuli structured to induce a consensual pupillary response in a secondary eye of the subject as a result of said exposure of the primary eye to said at least one stimuli during said test cycle, said at least one stimuli comprising a light source, said induction device comprising a stimuli adjustment assembly structured to permit variation of at least one parameter of said at least one stimuli, said stimuli adjustment assembly disposed in an operative position between said light source and the primary eye of the subject, said stimuli adjustment assembly comprising a filter assembly, said filter assembly comprises a plurality of filters, said induction device further comprising a stimuli control assembly structured to maintain at least one parameter of said at least one stimuli in a control range, a measuring device comprising a monitoring mechanism structured to permit detection of said consensual pupillary response, said detected consensual pupillary response at least partially defined by a constriction of the pupil of the secondary eye in response to said exposure of the primary eye to said at least one stimuli, wherein a degree of constriction of the pupil of the secondary eye is substantially equal to a degree of constriction of the pupil of the primary eye, said measuring device further comprising a recording mechanism communicatively associating with said monitoring mechanism and structured to at least temporarily preserve said detected consensual pupillary response, said measuring device further comprising a display mechanism disposed in communicative association with said monitoring mechanism and structured to permit observation of said detected consensual pupillary response, said measuring device further comprising an analysis mechanism communicatively interconnected to said monitoring mechanism and structured to interpret said detected consensual pupillary response, and said detected consensual pupillary response is indicative of at least one deficiency in the subject's vision.
