ADEQUATE EXAMINATION OF THE EYE.
A concise outline of the methodology of an adequate examination of the eye is presented so that the ocular findings may be used properly in establishing a diagnosis. An accurate ocular history is important. Visual acuity at a distance and at the reading point should be measured in such a way as to avoid the introduction of error. A pinhole disc can be used to differentiate a refractive error from organic pathology. Clinical methods of performing the visual field examination, estimating the lacrimal tear production, and determining intraocular pressure are described and illustrated.
