    Combat stress significantly impacts pupil responses. Findings show increased dilatation time and reduced pupillary size, indicating physiological stress effects on the autonomic nervous system during demanding training.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Human Physiology
    • Military Medicine

    Background:

    • The autonomic nervous system regulates pupillary responses.
    • Physiological stressors can alter neurological and ocular functions.
    • Understanding pupillary changes provides insights into stress responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of a 5-day combat course on pupillary function.
    • To assess changes in pupillary size and light-induced responses under stress.

    Main Methods:

    • Infrared pupillography was used to measure pupillary responses in 9 male cadets.
    • Measurements included pupillary size after dark adaptation and dilatation rate after light stimulation.
    • Data collected during a 5-day combat course involving sleep deprivation, exercise, and caloric deficit.

    Main Results:

    • Pupillary dilatation time increased by 50% by the end of the course.
    • Pupillary size before light stimulation decreased by 14%.
    • Small amplitude pupillary oscillations appeared on days 3 and 5; contraction speed remained unchanged.

    Conclusions:

    • Intense physiological stress during combat training alters pupillary dynamics.
    • These changes suggest a significant impact on autonomic nervous system regulation.
    • Pupillography can serve as a non-invasive indicator of physiological stress in military personnel.
