Comparison of pupil perimetry and visual perimetry in normal eyes: decibel sensitivity and variability.

Abstract

The high intereye correlation for either pupil or visual sensitivity may provide an important tool for detecting focal or asymmetric visual field damage. Although the basic shape of the sensitivity profile of pupil and visual responses was similar under the conditions of testing, the two did not correlate well within each eye among the normal subjects. This highlights that similarities do exist in the sensitivity profile of the two pathways, but they do not seem to vary in the same proportion between normal individuals.
