Abstract
To describe a simple technique that detects a subtle relative afferent pupillary defect. Observational report. With the patient seated at a slit lamp and the slit illumination turned off, a transilluminator light is swung back and forth between the eyes. The examiner observes the direct pupil light response and the consensual light response under slit-lamp magnification. Using slit-lamp magnification, the examiner may observe small amplitudes of pupillary movement in the evaluation of a relative afferent pupillary defect.
