Optic nerve

[cranbrook]

this is testing the optic nerve right? Or is it abducens and oculomotor?

Secondly. Presumably you're testing with amsler grid testing. Hunting for macular pathology/distortion.

Wouldn't that just use up valuable time perhaps in a stressed/pressurised ER/A&E/Family Doctor/General Practice/10-15 minute consultation?

[trin0345]

Very good.

However. This would take forever to do.

Do you seriously think you could do all of that in a busy ER/Casualty/Accident & Emergency job?

Granated that this is only a screening test. And that if you spotted pathology you would move to either a Goldmann or Humphrey perimetry.

But do you think students should at least know about red/white hat pins? For example spotting the enlarged blind spot of optic neuritics?

A very good screen. But perhaps a bit too laborious for me.
