This lecture was given at Nemour’s Childrens Hospital for the local JOMA meeting (ophthalmic techs). Sorry about the audio sync and the poor picture quality of the podium stream. Hopefully, the content and internal videos will make up for it. In this video I cover twenty short “tricks” that can be used in the difficult patient. These include:
The Handoff
APD
Optokinetic Drum and Flag
Mirror Testing
Flick Testing
Magic Lens
Finger Touch
Stereo Confusion
Eye Popping
Pinhole PAM
Color Cap
Photoptic/Entoptic Testing
Pencil Fields
Pencil Neglect
Hertel
Sinus Pressure
Myasthenia Upgaze
Myasthenia Ice Pack Test
Eye Dominance
Yep, the “entoptic phenomenon” it is. I couldn’t remember the name or find it anywhere online when I prepared the lecture. It has also been described as the “Troxler’s fading phenomenon.” Thanks for the comment!
