Presbyopia [ANS:] age-related near-vision loss. Can see far away
better.

Examples of sudden, painful unilateral vision loss [ANS:] corneal
ulcer, acute closed angle glaucoma, uveitis, or traumatic
hyphema.

Examples of sudden, PAINLESS unilateral vision loss [ANS:] retinal
detachment, macular degeneration, or retinal vein occlusion.

Olfactory (CN 1) [ANS:] smell, occlude each nostril

inward. (A conjugate gauze is a normal gaze=both eyes move in
same direction at same time). ptosis=CNIII problem.

Trochlear Nerve (CN IV) [ANS:] controls superior oblique muscle-
moves eye down towards nose, damage from head trauma or

increased cup-to-disk ratio from increased intraocular
pressure=notching of optic cup. Acute Closed Angle rapid onset
of sudden vision loss, unilateral, deep eye pain, dilated and fixed
pupil with cloudy cornea=emergency if increased intraocular

closer glaucoma, or uveitis.
