Q
  1. Lids, lashes, conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, iris pupils
A
  • inspect eyebrows, lids, lashes for symmetry
  • inspect sclera. It is white and moist.
  • Conjuctiva pink w/o any redness.

Q
  1. pupil reactivity
A
  1. Next, I’m going to assess your pupils. I am checking to make sure they are equally round and reactive to direct light.
  2. To make sure the pupils react to consensual light, shine light in R eye and observe for pupil constriction in left eye. Repeat on other eye.
  3. test accommodation: Place finger in front of patients face and have them look at your finger and then far off.

Q
  1. EOMS’s
A
  1. Testing 6 cardinal views of gaze.
  2. have pt follow finger. Go Up, Down, Across, and diagonal on each side.
  3. Next, tell pt to follow your finger as you bring it into their nose. Looking to ensure that the eyes will converge and follow your finger.

Q
  1. Fundoscopic exam and red reflex
A
  1. Grab ophthalmoscope.
  2. Have pt look straight at something on wall.
  3. Use your R eye when looking at their R eye and vice versa.
  4. Come in at an angle.
  5. Note red reflex from about 12 inches away and once you see it follow it all the way in until you are very close to pt.
  6. You can see optic disk is a creamy yellow to pink color and is round with distinct margins.

Q
  1. Otoscopic exam:
A
  1. with otoscope; pull ear up and back.
  2. Locate TM - shoudl be a pearly white color. Also observe bony landmarks looking for light reflex.

** if TM is red/bulging it can indicate infection.

Q
  1. Rinne Test:
A
  • Strike tuning fork and palce it on back of ear on the bone.
  • Ask when they can no longer hear it and when they can’t move it beside their ear and they should still be able to hear it.
