Report No: DOT/FAA/AM-65/25
Title and Subtitle: Latency of pupillary reflex to light stimulation and its relationship to aging.
Report Date: September 1965
Authors: Feinberg R, Podolak E.
Abstract: A method is described for measuring pupillary contraction latency period regardless of initial absolute pupil diameter. Pupillary contraction latency period increases with age: the data presented show that the normal pupil, as usually found in healthy young people, has a shorter latency than is found in older normal subjects.
Key Words: aging (physiology), eye, reflexes, contraction, measurement.
