bell of stethoscope
absent red reflex .....ANSWER.....children: retinoblastoma,
cataracts
adults: cataracts, retinal detachement

hot potato voice, drooling, trismus, severe unilaterla sore throat
drain and treat with ABX
transilluminated sinuses .....ANSWER.....clear sinuses/air filled =
light travels
mass, congestion = fluid, mucus, mass
cover-uncover test .....ANSWER.....detects strabismus
differentiates phorias from tropias
phoria .....ANSWER.....temporary/latent strabismus
occurs when you disrupt fixation
tropia .....ANSWER.....persistent/manifest strabismus
