Prism cover test (right esotropia)   File size: 3.4MB
This is a common request in part II OSE. Before carrying out the test, perform the cover/uncover test and alternate test to ascertain if the patient has eso- or exo- tropia or phoria.

Three patients with abnormal cover/uncover tests. First patient had had surgery for infantile esotropia which recurs. The second patient has consecutive exotropia following surgery for esotropia; cover test shows latent nystagmus. The third patient has a left sixth nerve palsy, however; cover/uncover test in the primary shows a right esotropia because the patient is fixating with her left eye.
