.................. | The ocular motility cases will include
cover/uncover tests. As a general rule, if you were given
a child the probability of a concomitant squint is higher than in an adult. If you were asked to perform cover/uncover test, remember that you need to do it with the patient fixating at distance, 6 metres and near (this is laborious and most examiners would make do with 6 metres and near fixation). Also remember that the test also involve alternating cover test. Do not just look for the presence of tropia, also look for the presence of latent nystagmus or dissociated vertical deviation in the occluded eye. In the examination of ocular motility, do not forget to test for saccade
and convergence as part
