In this chapter, you will gain the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate eye health and visual functions. You will learn how to identify visual impairments and detect visible signs of systemic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.

What You Will Learn in This Training

• Physical Eye Examination: Identifying redness, swelling, or deformities in the eyelids, assessing the color and condition of the sclera and conjunctiva, and evaluating the appearance and regularity of the cornea, iris, and pupils.
• Evaluation of Visual Functions: Performing visual acuity tests (e.g., Snellen chart), assessing the visual field (peripheral vision), testing extraocular movements to check eye muscle control, and evaluating pupil responses through light reflex tests.
• Ophthalmoscopy: Using an ophthalmoscope to evaluate the optic disc, retina, and blood vessels.

This chapter combines theoretical knowledge with practical application using realistic patient scenarios in a virtual environment, helping you enhance your clinical skills in eye assessment.
