This is an introduction to pediatrics, created for our sister site OphthoBook.com. In this video, we cover all the basics of the pediatric eye exam, including:
Checking Vision
Retinoscopy Theory and Practice (animated videos!)
Tropias versus Phorias (more animated video!)
Amblyopia
Leukocoria (including congenital cataracts and retinoblastoma)
Retinopathy of Prematurity
Overall, I think this video came out quite well. The demonstration videos on retinoscopy and tropia/phorias are quite useful.
NafesaSaid, it’s working on my end! I can see the video on my computer. Do you have flash video installed, and can you normally watch videos like YouTube?
Well you rock, thanks Doctor for this great work, it is very useful and interesting. I hope that you can work on a lecture about ROP dealing with it in more depth.

I enjoy the VDO very much. There is only one point I would like to correct about the slide of ROP screening. The birth weight should be 1500 grams, not kg.
thank you very much!!! i finally understood retinoscopy (im kinda lazy to read) i couldn t watch you video in my mac (dont know why)but i tried in every computer i had in front of me and it worked in a pc with windows (¿?) thxs again
Hey Dr. Root thanks so much for all these very informative videos. I wanted to know if you knew the reason of why in the bruchner test, inferior crescents indicate myopia and superior crescents hyperopia. Thanks!
