Comprehensive Eye Examination
Perform a complete, systematic eye examination from visual acuity through fundoscopy with confidence in your findings and documentation.
What this track covers
This track covers the full outpatient eye exam: visual acuity and pinhole testing, pupil assessment including RAPD, external and anterior segment inspection, ocular motility, and direct fundoscopy. It emphasizes recognizing normal versus abnormal findings and knowing when a finding warrants referral.
What you will practice
- Perform and document Snellen and pinhole visual acuity testing
- Distinguish normal pupil reflexes from an afferent pupillary defect
- Systematically inspect the external eye and anterior segment for abnormalities
- Test extraocular movements and interpret cover-uncover findings
- Recognize fundoscopic findings that require urgent referral
Simulator scenario
A patient presents with sudden unilateral vision change, requiring a full stepwise eye exam to localize the problem and decide on urgency of referral.
Board question topics
- Interpreting relative afferent pupillary defect
- Differentiating causes of red eye on external exam
- Cover-uncover test interpretation
- Optic disc findings and referral thresholds
