Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Dynamic Pupillometry will assess the pupillary light reflex post 5 minutes of dark adaptation. Parameters such as reflex latency (RL), minimum pupil diameter (MPD), baseline pupil diameter (BPD), maximum constriction velocity (MCV), maximum redilation velocity (MRV), absolute constriction amplitude (ACA), absolute dilation amplitude (ADA), duration of constriction (DC), and duration of dilation (DD) will be analyzed.Timepoint: Assessment will occur 5 minutes before and after the intervention.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
HRV is measured after completing the PLR test, & the subject will be advised to rest for 5 minutes in a supine position on a couch. The lead II ECG will be recorded by using an analog ECG amplifier & converting it to digital using the sound card inside the computer.Timepoint: Assessment will take 5 minutes before & after the intervention.
