See Marcus Gunn pupil. swinging flashlight testA test used to detect a relative afferent pupillary defect or Marcus Gunn pupil. Direct light is shone into the normal eye; both pupils constrict equally due to the consensual response.

This response is seen in asymmetrical optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma, optic neuropathy, and optic neuritis. LegalSeeTest |
