  • Title: Loss of vision.
    Author: LaVene D, Halpern J, Jagoda A.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 1995 Aug; 13(3):539-60. PubMed ID: 7635082.
    Abstract:
    Assessment of the patient with vision loss includes measurement of visual acuity, examination of the pupil, a finger-counting confrontation field examination, and an ophthalmoscopic examination. Opticokinetic testing is useful when functional blindness is being considered. A scheme is presented to use these findings to arrive at the anatomic level of this dysfunction. A differential diagnosis can then be generated. Some specific disorders causing vision loss are presented by anatomic location.
