how to check direct pupillary light reflex
shine light into eye
check pupil constriction
how to check indirect/ consensual pupillary light reflex
if pupil of affected eye is not visible
direct light into sick eye
check other eye for pupil constriction
where does afferent PLR start
at retina –> optic nerve –> chiasma –> optic tract –> lateral geniculatis nucl –> visual cortex –> n. oculomotor
