Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform a comparison of static and dynamic pupillometry measurements in patients with clinically unilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES) and age-matched controls.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study consisted of 38 patients with unilateral PES and 40 control participants. A quantitative pupillometry system was used to evaluate the pupil characteristics of eyes with PES (group 1), clinically unaffected fellow eyes (group 2), and healthy eyes (group 3). Static pupillometry measurements including scotopic pupil diameter (PD), mesopic PD, low photopic PD, and high photopic PD were undertaken. Subsequently, dynamic pupillometry measurements including resting diameter, amplitude of pupil contraction, latency of pupil contraction, duration of pupil contraction, velocity of pupil contraction, latency of pupil dilation, duration of pupil dilation, and velocity of pupil dilation were undertaken.
Results: There were statistically significant differences between the groups with regard to scotopic PD, mesopic PD, and low photopic PD (P<0.001). The pairwise comparisons exhibited that group 1 shows significantly lower PD values compared with groups 2 and 3. Group 2 also had significantly lower PD values compared with group 3. In addition, groups 1 and 2 had statistically significantly lower values of amplitude of pupil contraction, velocity of pupil contraction, duration of pupil dilatation, and velocity of pupil dilatation values compared with group 3. Moreover, group 1 and 2 demonstrated statistically significantly prolonged latency of pupil dilatation compared with group 3.
Conclusions: Static and dynamic pupil characteristics of affected eyes and their fellow eyes of cases with unilateral PES are different from the healthy subjects.

Recently acquired memories are reactivated in the hippocampus during sleep, an initial step for their consolidation. This process is concomitant with the hippocampal reactivation of previous memories, posing the problem of how to prevent interference between older and recent, initially labile, memory traces. Theoretical work has suggested that consolidating multiple memories while minimizing interference can be achieved by randomly interleaving their reactivation.

The pupillary light reflex could serve as a valuable method for measuring dynamic responses in the autonomic nervous system (ANS). However, it remains unclear whether physiological conditions such as fasting and dehydration affect pupillary reflexes. In this study, we investigated the effects of fasting and dehydration on pupillary responses using pupillometry.

Objective: The infrabrow blepharoplasty is a common surgical operation indicated in Asians for periorbital rejuvenation. This operation alone is difficult to achieve the correction of crow's feet. Therefore, the authors elucidate the authors' experiences of applying infrabrow blepharoplasty combined with the subcutaneous undermining of the lateral periorbital region to treat upper eyelid dermatochalasis with lateral hooding deformity and alleviate crow's feet, including its indications, operative procedures, and postoperative outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The pupil light reflex (PLR) is primarily controlled by a quick neural pathway that causes rapid pupillary constriction in response to light, but changes in pupil size from non-light stimuli or during darkness are slower and require careful analysis.
- A new software tool called PupilMetrics was developed to automate the analysis of pupillometric data, effectively removing common artifacts and providing accurate measurements of pupil responses.
- Testing with 29 participants showed that PupilMetrics significantly reduced analysis time from 30 hours to under 1 hour while maintaining high accuracy, making it a valuable resource for standardizing pupillometry in clinical and research settings.

Purpose: Pupillary contraction and dilatation are organized by the autonomic nervous system, which can also be affected by Graves' disease (GD). In this study, it was aimed to investigate the static and dynamic pupillary responses of Graves' patients in the hyperthyroid and euthyroid periods and to compare these results with the values obtained from healthy controls.
Methods: 48 eyes of 24 newly diagnosed Graves' patients with clinical activity score ≤ 2 and 46 eyes of 23 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included in the study.
