APD TESTER
This new device tests for afferent pupillary defect using a built-in Blue/UV light, which allows magnified examination of the cornea. By instilling a drop of ophthalmic fluorescein dye, the physician can use the light to diagnose a corneal foreign body, abrasion or ulcer. Richmond Products designed the ADP Tester to replace the traditional swinging flashlight test and make dark irides, sluggish pupils and post-surgical or traumatic pupils all relatively easy to examine.
