What to ask
![Page 63: Reduced Vision · Reduced Vision Dr Michael Johnson ... • Visual pathway problems ... • Arteriole emboli travelling from carotid → eye](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041123/5d2bea5788c99348268d8bac/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
• Consider demographics
• Consider general health, principally vascular health
• Is the eye red
• Visual acuity – RE & LE tested separately
What to examine
![Page 64: Reduced Vision · Reduced Vision Dr Michael Johnson ... • Visual pathway problems ... • Arteriole emboli travelling from carotid → eye](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041123/5d2bea5788c99348268d8bac/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
• Optional:
• Pupil reflexes – is constriction to light symmetrical
• Crude assessment of peripheral vision with confrontation
• Assessment of red reflex with the ophthalmoscope
• Ophthalmoscopy
• Blood pressure
