numerator/denominator on snellen chart
numerator- distance away the patient is. always 20 feet
denominator- distance at which normal eye could see letters. larger denominator, worse the vision

2
jaegar chart
held 14 inches from clients eye.
read the smallest line possible
this helps identify needs for bifocals
- dont use corrective lenses

accomodation test
bringing a object near and far from eye
the pupil should constrict and converge as objects move near and dialate as they move farther away
direct pupil reaction
light shined in pupil, pupil constricts
consensual pupil reaction
when light is shined in pupil of one eye, the other pupil should still constrict
