pupil meter

The pupil meter is another tool used in preoperative examinations. This hand-held device is used to accurately measure the diameter of the pupil. Because the pupil's reflection of infrared light is different from the surrounding iris, the sensor of the pupil meter accurately determines the starting point of the pupil and measures its diameter. Normally, the light is measured first, then the light is turned off, so that the doctor can see the change in the size of the patient's pupil.
