Considering the increase of drug influenced drivers, it becomes more and more necessary to create tests to identify drug influenced drivers. Since 1995 we have access to the compact integrated pupillograph CIP, which allows reliable measurements of pupil dynamics as well as eye movements. The principle of measurement is based on infrared reflection. The device seems to be very effective to examine effects of various psychoactive substances on brain function or vision control, respectively. The…

Pupil function as an indicator of being under the influence of central nervous system-acting substances from a traffic-medicine perspective – Part II

The statistical examination was extended to further parameters of the PLR, which confirmed the high value of infrared pupillography as a reliable indicator of previous consumption of drugs and/or medication.

Pupil function as a parameter for assessing impairment of the central nervous system from a traffic-medicine perspective.

The potential of infrared pupillography in routine police traffic checks

Infrared pupillography represents an objective method of measuring the pupil function to indicate a possible influence by central nervous acting substances and should become a regular method in scheduled traffic controls in the future, preferably in cooperation with forensic medical centers.

Pupil function as an indicator for being under the influence of central nervous system-acting substances from a traffic-medicine perspective

It would thus appear desirable to make infrared pupillography a routine part of police checks in the near future, providing a reliable indicator of previous consumption of drugs and/or medication.

Pupillographic assessment of sleepiness in sleep-deprived healthy subjects.

The results demonstrate a strong relationship between ongoing sleep deprivation and typical changes in the frequency profiles of spontaneous pupillary oscillations and the tendency to instability in pupil size in normals and suggest that the results of pupil data analysis permit an objective measurement of sleepiness.

Pupillographic sleepiness testing in hypersomniacs and normals

A pupillographic sleepiness test based on the evaluation of spontaneous pupillary changes in darkness is applicable in hypersomniacs and may facilitate therapy control, i.e. diagnostic grading by measuring daytime sleepiness objectively.

Pupil response to tropicamide in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders

There was a quite wide range of overlap between AD and controls and no cut‐off point was found with a high enough specificity to consider this a conclusive diagnostic test, but lower dilatation response in the overlapping range may be useful because of its negative predictive value.

Each combination of oculomotor deficits with or without optic atrophy may occur irrespective of the gene locus of the disease, making a correlation between clinical signs and genetic findings difficult.
