Abstract

A device for measuring the size of an eye pupil, particularly with non-cooperating patients, has a body which contacts the eye and carries on it an illuminating light source, a series of light detectors and an optical system for collecting the divergent light from the illuminating source and directing such light towards the iris of the eye. A stimulus light source can also be included for directing stimulus light through the pupil and onto the retina.
