Test visual acuity - Answer - Snellen eye chart
- Near vision (in px older than 40 or those having difficulty reading)
What does the Snellen eye chart test? - Answer CN II Optic nerve (Normal acuity is 20/20)
Test visual fields - Answer Confrontation test
- Gross measure of peripheral vision
- Eye level; 60cm
- Normal results, 50° upward, 90° temporal, 70° downward, and 60° nasal
Inspect extraocular muscle function - Answer - Corneal light reflex (Hirschberg test)
, - Cover-uncover test
- Diagnostic positions test
Hirschberg test - Answer - Assess parallel alignment of eye axes by shining a light towards px
eyes.
- Direct px to stare straight ahead as you hold light ~30 cm away.
- Note reflection of light on the corneas; it should be in exactly the same spot on each eye.
- See bright white dots for symmetry of the corneal light reflex.
Cover-uncover test - Answer - Detects small degrees of deviated alignment by interrupting
fusion reflex that normally keeps two eyes parallel
- Stare straight ahead at nose
- Normal, steady fixed gaze
- Muscle weakness, covered eye will drift into relaxed position
Phoria and tropia - Answer Phoria: mild weakness noted only when fusion is blocked
Tropia: more severe, constant misalignment of eyes
Diagnostic Positions test - Answer - Leading eyes through 6 cardinal positions reveals muscle
weakness during movement
- Holy head steady and follow movement only with eyes
- 30 cm; clockwise
- Normal, parallel tracking of object with both eyes
- Nystagmus
- Lid lag
Nystagmus - Answer - Fine oscillating movement best seen around iris
- Mild at extreme lateral gaze is normal
- Disease of semicircular canals in ears, paretic eye muscle, MS, or brain lesions
Lid lag - Answer - White rim of sclera between eyelid and iris
-Hyperthyroidism
What does extraocular muscle function test? - Answer - CN III Oculomotor
- CN IV Trochlear
