As ophthalmologists, we often come across a lot of patients with neuro-ophthalmological disorders that show no positive examination findings except for subtle abnormalities in the pupillary light reflex. However, these subtle changes are often overlooked in a busy OPD setting, especially by junior doctors and nursing staff. Thus, we decided to develop an innovation to simplify the assessment of pupillary reflexes, which we have named PUPILLARY REFLEX AT EASE. Our plan involved magnifying the iris and pupil using biconvex lenses to facilitate the visualization of the response. Additionally, we proposed setting up an inbuilt electrical circuit for illuminating the eyes. To elicit consensual reflexes, we decided to dissociate the eyes and provide ambient illumination using low-voltage light bulbs. This represents a simple attempt to address a common challenge faced by clinicians.
作为眼科医生，我们经常遇到许多患有神经眼科疾病的患者，除了瞳孔光反射有细微异常外，检查结果均为阴性。然而，在繁忙的门诊环境中，这些细微变化常常被忽视，尤其是初级医生和护理人员。因此，我们决定开发一项创新技术来简化瞳孔反射的评估，我们将其命名为“轻松瞳孔反射”。我们的计划包括使用双凸透镜放大虹膜和瞳孔，以便于观察反应。此外，我们提议设置一个内置电路来照亮眼睛。为了引出对光反射，我们决定使双眼分离，并使用低压灯泡提供环境照明。这是解决临床医生面临的常见挑战的一次简单尝试。
