Retinoscopy of the eye (Ophthalmology)

This video shows animated sequences on how to perform retinoscopy. Specifically, you'll see what the retina reflex looks like and the theory behind "with" and "against" movement. This is a usefull skill for checking glasses prescription in pre-verbal children and elderly. This clip was excerpted from the 23 minute long Pediatric Ophthalmology video which you'll find at OphthoBook.com

Thank you, this is a really useful video, I couldn't understand the principle and technique of retinoscopy until I watched it ..

This video is misleading. If the light entering a correct-sighted eye from any direction was all focused in the same point of the retina, the person could not see anything but a single dot in front of him. And a myopic would see the world upside down if the light was projected on the opposite side of his retina, as the video suggests. The real reason why an ophtalmologist sees a reversed reflection from a myopic eye is that he observes it through the patient's lens. The reversal is an illusion.

I am an engineer, interested in objective measurements of the eye's refractive state. This is the best review I have ever seen. Thanks! Otis

18 month olds should not be wearing glasses. Glasses, especially minus lens destroy vision. Especially if used while reading. Myopes should remove their glasses while reading. or your prescription will worsen,

a useful & vary easy way to learn everyone,i like vary much the way of teaching through the cartoon,by the respective teacher.thanks a lot,  arshad aziz

streak retinoscope have convergece, divergence and plane light beam. so which one should we use???and plus power patient is very hard to observe the movement!!!

How does spot-ret. work? Also, how do you ret. to estimate rather than to neutralize (i.e., ret. without corrective lenses)?

Thanks.
