Pupillometry: An objective test to assess endocular hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis.
CONCLUSION: A scalloped iris reflects a more advanced endocular hATTR and it is associated with an altered pupillary light reflex. Pupillometry may be a quick, simple, and portable test to objectively evaluate ocular amyloid deposition in hATTR eyes. Pupillary light reflex may not be reliable to evaluate neurological dysfunction in these patients.
