This study introduces M-sequence pupil perimetry, a novel objective visual field test. It effectively maps visual field defects, even in optic nerve conditions, offering a promising diagnostic tool.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Multifocal electroretinography (ERG) maps retinal function but is limited for optic nerve and higher visual pathway diseases.
  • Pupil responses offer a potential alternative to electrical retinal responses for enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
  • Detecting subtle pupillomotor responses is crucial for effective pupil perimetry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of M-sequence stimulation technique for objective pupil perimetry.
  • To assess the potential of using pupillary responses to diagnose visual field defects beyond retinal function.
  • To explore the clinical applicability of a novel pupil perimetry method.

Main Methods:

  • Pupillography was performed using infrared video, real-time image processing, and a custom videoboard.

  • A monitor displayed 37 hexagons (25-degree visual field) with M-sequence binary contrast changes.
  • Local pupillograms were calculated via cross-correlation of stimulus sequences and pupil diameter.

    • Main Results:

    • Pupillomotor fields in normal subjects mirrored conventional pupil perimetry findings.
    • Artificial paracentral scotomas were successfully demonstrated.
    • Visual field defects were evident even in patients with optic nerve lesions.

    Conclusions:

    • M-sequence pupil perimetry is a promising method for objective perimetry.
    • This technique shows potential for clinical application in diagnosing visual field impairments.
    • The study highlights the value of pupillary responses in assessing visual pathways.
