29
Open area between the upper and lower eyelids
Palpebral fissures
30
What to check or inspect in the cornea and lens
Opacity
31
It is normally fairly flat and forms a relatively oprn angle with the cornea, the lightnings cast no shadow
Iris
32
What to inspect in pupils
Size, shape, and symmetry
33
What size if the pupil large

34
What size if the pupil small

35
The nurse would examine the patient's eyes without dilating pupils
Opthalmic Examination
36
The view is therefore limited to the posterior structures of retina
Ophthalmic examination
37
Opthalmologists dilate the pupils the patients with the use of

42
This loss of vision is du4 to an alteration in neutral pathways in the developing brain which in turn decreases
