RAPD and other neuro-ophthalmological applications
Procyon dynamic pupillometers have been used in the past to quantify RAPD, as a direct replacement for the Swinging Flashlight Test. This test is well known to be difficult to do. Using objective dynamic pupillometry instead, not only is greater accuracy conferred, but also the test no longer needs a trained physician to administer.
In addition, our dynamic pupillometers can be used for distinguishing between physiological anisocoria and Horner's Syndrome.
Procyon dynamic pupillometers have also been used as effective tools in glaucoma management because they measure RAPD objectively, accurately and quickly and bring this powerful but difficult test into the realms of the everyday clinic (see Lankaranian et al 2005).

Refractive Surgery
The Procyon Standard Edition binocular pupillometers (P2000, P3000, P3000 USB) have all been recommended for refractive surgery by leaders such as Emanuel Rosen, Steve Slade, Dan Reinstein. They have been is use since January 2001 when the P2000 was launched, and have been the subject of many independent research studies (see Clinical Papers page)
The standard P3000-USB which offers accurate and precise measurements of average pupil size under three standard dim lighting conditions is manufactured and distributed for Procyon by Haag Streit, who have added their experience in production of high quality instrumentation.
