Topic: Fundus and Optic Disc Exam
Presenter: Heather Moss, MD, PhD, FAAN, Kathleen B. Digre, MD, FAAN
Summary: This is a hands-on mini-lab to convey neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-otology examination skills. The lab consists of stations to address individual components of the exam, including visual acuity (near and Snellen acuity), color vision, fields (confrontation and Amsler grid), pupils (RAPD and anisocoria), ocular alignment (prism cover, general prism use, red Maddox rod), assessment of pursuits and saccades, nystagmus examination (Frenzel lens), ophthalmoscopy (direct and panoptic ophthalmoscopes), assessment of the vestibular ocular reflex (head thrust and ophthalmoscopy), Hallpike testing, and repositioning treatments. Participants will spend time at each station for individualized instruction and troubleshooting with an expert on these essential examination skills. Participants will understand the techniques used in performing the neuro-ophthalmic and neuro-vestibular exams, including afferent, pupil, efferent, and vestibular components.
