Testing VA • Chart factors:
– Well illuminated chart
– Correct test distance
• Patient factors:
– Have their distance correction on
– Make sure they don’t have their readers on
– Ensure truly monocular test
• Recording the result
– 6/6 vs 6/60? • Numerator = test distance
• Denominator = lowest line on chart read
6/60
6/6
6/5
6/48

VA: “I can’t read the top line Dr”
1. Shorten the viewing distance
– 3/60
– 2/60
– 1/60
2. Can you see my hand moving?
6/Hand movements
3/HM
3. Can you see the light I’m shining?
PL (perception of light)

The secret of the pinhole
• Triages refractive error from other eye pathology
• VA improving with the pinhole implies refractive error – refer optometry
pinhole
![Page 8: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Using an ophthalmoscope “what does the RED REFLEX mean”?
• the transparent ocular media are clear
– Cornea (infection)
– Aqueous (uveitis/blood)
– Lens (cataract)
– Vitreous (diabetic vitreous
haemorrhage, vitreous detachment)
– Retina grossly normal (retinal detachment)
![Page 9: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Using an ophthalmoscope How to test the RR
• Dial 0
• Leave your distance glasses on
• Take your reading glasses off
![Page 10: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Is that a normal RR?
• Racial variations
• Compare symmetry
• Leukocoria
![Page 11: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pupil light response (fix on distance target so not testing accommodative near response)
• It tests
– Afferent: • Global retina/optic nerve
function
– Efferent: • Third cranial nerve
• Normally – shine light in one eye and get bilateral pupil constriction
Eye
Chiasm
Midbrain
![Page 12: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Testing pupil reactions to light
• Older people have smaller pupils – harder to see the light reaction
• Tips
– Dim the room lights
– Use a bright light
![Page 13: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD)
• The master class in testing pupils.
• The swinging flashlight test.
• Highlights subtle pathology in retina or optic nerve
– Positive test when pupil dilates with light
![Page 14: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Ophthalmoscope: Funduscopy “…you won’t see much unless you dilate”
• Don’t be afraid to dilate – Can’t recall a case of
acute glaucoma caused by dilation
• Tropicamide 1%
• Phenylephrine 2.5%
• If dilating both eyes, caution regarding driving within 4 hours
![Page 16: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Targeted examination based on history
• Diplopia (double vision)
– Monocular diplopia: less concerning and probably blur
• Tear film disturbance
• Cataract
• Refractive error
– Binocular diplopia: the eyes are not looking in the same place – A significant symptom REFER
![Page 17: Eye Case Studies Sean Every - GP CME CME/Saturday/C5 1400 Every/C5 1400 Every.pdf–ability to fix and follow –objection to occlusion ... –Marginal keratitis Examination • VA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022520/5b19fdab7f8b9a32258cf009/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Visual Field examination
• Lots of different ways
• Easiest screen for people who can’t follow instructions well – “look at my nose”
– “keep your eye still”
– “this is a test of the your peripheral vision”
– “can you see all of my face”
– [repeat as necessary]

2: Examination of the paediatric eye in General Practice
• Examination is age dependant
• Opportunistic
• Depends on child’s cooperation

Corneal Foreign Body
• Index of suspicion based on history
• Can be occult – Surface
– Intraocular
• Need a slit lamp to remove – Especially if near to visual axis

Red flags
• Unilateral red eye
– Chlamydial conjunctivitis (young people, sexually transmitted)
– Occult foreign body or “lost” contact lens
– HSV
• History of trauma (mechanism of injury)
• History of Contact lens use – increased risk of bacterial corneal infection
• Visual loss
• Severe pain
• Neonatal conjunctivitis

Floaters are due to opacities suspended in the vitreous
• Retinal tear
• Vitreous haemorrhage
• Vitreous inflammation • Vitreous neoplasm (lymphoma)
• Acute floaters imply possible risk of retinal tear or detachment
• Chronic floaters > 3 months – reassuring and unlikely to be significant

Combined Flashes and Floaters
• This is due to a PVD and needs ophthalmology review
• This is an age related event

• MD affects 1 in 7 people over 50 years
• Incidence increases with age – often referred to
as Age-related Macular Degeneration or AMD

Current Treatment for Wet MD • VEGF (a protein) causes
blood vessels to grow into
the retina.
• Anti-VEGF drugs
(Lucentis and Avastin)
block VEGF protein.
• Aim to stabilise vision and
prevent further vision loss.

Supplements for MD
ARED Study
• Vitamin C 500mg
• Vitamin E 400iu
• ß-carotene 15mg
• Zinc 80mg
• Copper 2mg
4,757 Participants were followed for up to 10 years
People who smoke should not take beta-carotene supplements. This is the reason it is not in all AREDS supplement products.

For moderate or advanced MD, AREDS supplement
can help to slow down the progression of MD.
Only take the AREDS formula if you have MD and on
the advice of your doctor.
