Use of "black light" in assesing pupillary responses.
A modification of the conventional technique of pupillary analysis that maximizes the ability of the clinician to interpret papillary abnormalities, especially in aging patients, is presented. The technique, which utilizes the principle of lenticular fluorescence from "black-light" (ultraviolet) stimulation, employs equipment that is readily available to clinicians.
