25
What are some important tests for visual acuity?
``` Basic Visual Acuity Testing Pinhole Test Rosenbaum Pocket Vision Screener Confrontation Test Color Plates ```
26
Describe what you do with a basic visual acuity test & what you are testing exactly?
you have the pt stand 20feet from snellen chart cover one eye & read. record the lowest line that they could read all the letters record 20ft away/another # distance @ which they can read the chart **tests the optic nerve **a measurement of central vision
27
Do you have them do the Snellen chart w/ or w/o their glasses?
at first w/o
28
What is considered legal blindness?
20/200
29
What is the pinhole test & when should you conduct it?
**should be done when vision is should improve the score.
30
What does the Rosenbaum Pocket Vision Screener test? How is this test conducted?
this tests near vision in each eye separately | hold card 14 inches from the line & read the lowest line possible.
31
Is the confrontation test significant? Precise?
Neither. | only significant when abnormal
32
what does the confrontation test measure? How is it conducted?
``` measures peripheral vision stand opposite the pt 1 meter apart have them cover R eye & you cover L extend arm & move centrally hopefully they will see your fingers at the same time as you do. ```
33
Why do you ever use color plates?
this is to test color blindness
34
If a pt has coarse or small eyebrows what might that indicate?
hypothyroidism
35
Is puffiness in the orbital area okay?
Yes, as it is a sign of aging. Maybe not if pt isn't older.
36
Is edema in the periorbial area normal?
No. this is ALWAYS abnormal. | could indicate: thyroid, renal, allergy problem
37

xanthelasma (abnormality of lipid metabolism)
38
If you see • Fasciculations/ tremors of the eyelids what might you think?
hyperthyroidism
39
If you see one eyelid drooping what is that called?
ptosis
40
What is it called when you see an everted lower eyelid? What is the problem with this ?
ectropion | problem-->tearing excessively
41
What is it called when you see an inverted lower eyelid? | What is the problem with this?

WHat might cause crusting of the eyelids?
blepharitis bacterial infection allergies
44
What is it called when your eyelids don't completely close?
lagophthalmos
45
Where do you inspect when you inspect the conjunctiva?
you pull down the lower eyelid to look @ the white of the conjunctiva. You only pull up the upper lid if you suspect a foreign body
46
If you see cobblestone red conjunctiva-->what do you think?
allergies | infectious conjunctivitis
47
If you see bright red conjunctiva in a defined area-->what do you think?
hemorrhage
48
If you see an abnormal growth of the conjunctiva-->what do you think?
pterygium
49
How do you properly inspect the cornea?
shine a light tangentially to it | shouldn't see blood vessels
50
How do you test CN5 when you are looking @ the cornea?
touch a wisp of cotton to the eye
51
How do you test CN7 when you are looking @ the cornea?
see if they can blink
52
What is corneal arcus? When is this normal? When is this abnormal?
lipids in the periphery of the cornea normal in people over the age of 60 abnormal in people under the age of 40
53
What is miosis? What can cause this?
failure of pupil to dilate in the dark can be w/ narcotics can be w/ glaucoma
54
What is mydriasis? What can cause this ?
too much dilation of the eye can be caused by a coma can be caused by too many eyedrops
55
If your eyes don't constrict with light-->what kind of damage do you have?
CN2, CN3 afferent damage
