  • we must perform specific eye physical examination based on the cases given. Steps must also be explained to the observer as we perform the examination. *it's basically like talking to your ownself facing the simulated patients, and it's abit weird! hehe.. but we're getting used to it though.. :P*
  • The specific Eye Physical Examination includes Visual Acuity (types : Snellen Chart, Finger-Counting, Hand Movement, or Light Perception), Anterior Segment Examination (examine patient's eyelid, supra cilia, conjunctiva, Cornea, Anterior Chamber, Iris, Pupil and its reflex, and Lens with the use of penlight and Loup Magnifier), Visual Confrontation (to check patient's visual field), Schiotz Tonometry examination (to determine patient's intraocular pressure), Direct Funduscopy (to examine the retina, vitreous humor, optic discs etc.)
