Selective wavelength pupillometry to evaluate outer and inner retinal photoreception

Purpose Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) express a unique photopigment called melanopsin. Capable of direct phototransduction, the ipRGCs are also influenced by rods and cones via synaptic inputs.  Thus, the photoinput that mediates the pupil light reflex derives from bot...
