ABSTRACT
To see properly, you need to have normal eyes, eye movements and central visual connections. Your approach to the examination thus involves determining which of these three components has failed. The range of possibilities is wide and includes blindness in one eye, bitemporal hemianopia, homonymous hemianopia and IIIrd, IVth or VIth nerve palsies. Patients with pupillary abnormalities and nystagmus will also be considered in this chapter. Many people experience difficulty in testing the eyes, and some time will be spent in describing techniques which are useful.
