  2. Pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupil

    For example, at the peak age of 15, the dark-adapted pupil can vary from 4 mm to 9 mm with different individuals. After 25 years of age, the average pupil size decreases, though not at a steady rate. [5] [6] At this stage the pupils do not remain completely still, therefore may lead to oscillation, which may intensify and become known as hippus ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment The human eye can detect a luminance from 10 −6 cd/m 2 , or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.

  4. Pupillary response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_response

    Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil between 1.5 mm and 8 mm, [1] via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. A constriction response , [2] is the narrowing of the pupil, which may be caused by scleral buckles or drugs such as opiates/opioids or anti-hypertension medications.

  5. Neurological pupil index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurological_Pupil_Index

    The Neurological Pupil index, or NPi, is an algorithm developed by NeurOptics, Inc., that removes subjectivity from the pupillary evaluation. A patient's pupil measurement (including variables such as size, latency, constriction velocity, dilation velocity, etc.) is obtained using a pupillometer, and the measurement is compared against a normative model of pupil reaction to light and ...

  6. Iris (anatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(anatomy)

    The iris controls the size of the pupil by means of contracting the iris sphincter muscle and/or the iris dilator muscle. The size of the pupils is dependent on many factors (including light, emotional state, cognitive load, arousal, stimulation), and can range from less than 2 mm in diameter, to as large as 9 mm in diameter.

  7. Eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye

    Muscles around the iris change the size of the pupil, regulating the amount of light that enters the eye [3] and reducing aberrations when there is enough light. [4] The eyes of most cephalopods, fish, amphibians and snakes have fixed lens shapes, and focusing is achieved by telescoping the lens in a similar manner to that of a camera. [5]

  8. Accommodation reflex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_reflex

    Light from a single point of a distant object and light from a single point of a near object being brought to a focus. The accommodation reflex (or accommodation-convergence reflex) is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at a distant object (and vice versa), comprising coordinated changes in vergence, lens shape (accommodation) and pupil size.

  9. Pupillary distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupillary_distance

    Web apps are used by a variety of online sellers of eyeglasses where an object of known size, such as a credit card, is needed to assist (size reference) the measurement process. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Some mobile apps have eliminated the need for a reference object to make accurate PD measurements by leveraging depth imaging and advanced algorithms now ...
