VISUAL ACUITY
CORRECTED (ie brain not lens) Each eye separately Snellen charts for distance and near vision reading charts for near vision Best approximation: small print (or equivalent) at normal reading distance If unable, finger counting, hand movements, perception of light

VISUAL FIELDS
Often forgotten but very important First do a bilateral screening test: will uncover the majority of significant visual field defects immediately Go on to check each eye separately, ask about scotomata Mention checking for blind spot enlargement

PUPILLARY RESPONSES
Light reflex is the clinically significant one Afferent limb = II, efferent limb = III Look at pupillary sizes Direct and consensual response Look for afferent pupillary defect (optic nerve lesion)

PUPILLARY ABNORMALITIES
One large pupil: IIIrd nerve palsy, iris problem (eg traumatic midriasis), unilateral dilator eye drops Small pupil: Horners syndrome, ArgyllRoberston pupil (small, irregular, reacts to accommodation but not to light) Bilateral small pupils: drugs (opiates), pontine lesion (haemorrhage)

HORNERS SYNDROME
Oculosympathetic paralysis A good lateralising sign but a poor localising sign Ptosis, miosis and sometimes unilateral anhydrosis of face Look especially at neck, supraclavicular fossa and hand (Pancoasts tumour)

EYE MOVEMENTS
Look at eyes in primary position of gaze IIIrd nerve palsy: eye often down and out VI nerve palsy: often eyes convergent (unopposed medial rectus) Look at pupils Look for ptosis

EYE MOVEMENTS
Follow a moving object (finger, end of tendon hammer) and ask for any symptomatic diplopia Determine position/s causing maximum diplopia Ask about separation of images (horizontal or oblique) Check diplopia is BINOCULAR

INTERNUCLEAR OPHTHALMOPLEGIA
Nystagmus in the abducting eye Failure of adduction of the other eye Both eyes move normally when tested individually Lesion in the MEDIAL LONGITUDINAL FASICULUS (on the side WITHOUT nystagmus Can be bilateral
