Checking pupils for an APD is an important part of the comprehensive eye exam, and is recommended in the AAO’s Preferred Practice Patterns® for POAG suspects and patients.
Historically performed as a subjective observation, it is considered by many clinicians as difficult to perform well. EyeKinetix is an objective alternative to the century old swinging flashlight method (SFM) originally. The SFM is non-standardized, and is rarely quantified using neutral density filters. Importantly, subtle RAPDs have been shown to be clinically significant.
Konan’s EyeKinetix is an objective, automated pupillograph used to assess and document Relative Afferent Pupillary Defects (RAPD).
