Are left- and right-eye pupil sizes always equal? by Gonca Gokce Menekse Dalveren, Nergiz Ercil Cagiltay

“…For this reason, most studies undertaking eye-movement analysis are conducted by only considering the pupil size of a single eye or taking the average size of both eye pupils. This study attempts to offer a better understanding concerning whether there are any differences between the left- and right-eye pupil sizes of the right-handed surgical residents while performing surgical tasks in a computer-based simulation environment under different conditions (left hand, right hand and both hands). …”
