Chromatic pupillometry isolation and evaluation of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cell-driven pupillary light response in patients with retinitis pigmentosa
Abstract:PurposeThe pupil light response (PLR) is driven by rods, cones, and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). We aimed to isolate ipRGC-driven pupil responses using chromatic pupillometry and to determine the effect of advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP) on ipRGC function.MethodsA total of 100 eyes from 67 patients with advanced RP and 18 healthy controls (HCs) were included. Patients were divided into groups according to severity of visual impairment: no light perception (NLP, 9 eyes), ligh… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
