Cranial Nerve Assessment: II. Optic

Examination type

Neurological

Patient & Body Segment Positioning

Patient needs to be in a comfortable position, either sitting or standing.

Examiner Position

The examiner needs to be anterior to (in front of) the patient

Performing the Test

When testing, assess each eye individually and then both eyes together. Two tests should be conducted:

Testing Visual Acuity: Ask patient to read an object close up & and another object far away. Ex. number of fingers that are being held up or a sign

Testing Peripheral Vision: Ask the patient to look straight ahead. Extend your hand behind the patient's head and out of the field of vision with the index finger extended and pointing upward. Slowly bring your hand forward until the patient reports seeing the index finger in his field of vision. Perform bilaterally and compare results.

Tissues Being Tested

Cranial nerve II. Optic nerve

Positive Test

Inability to read or identify objects either close up, far away, or both.

Interpretation

Intracranial involvement; Blindness in part or all of the visual field can indicate cranial nerve damage

Common errors in performing exam

Not testing short distance acuity; Not testing each eye individually

Factors possibly resulting in misinterpretation

Make sure that the athlete understands what you are doing when performing the test
