To evaluate a child for esotropia, which one of the following is a rapid and convenient diagnostic
screening test?
A. Slit lamp examination.
B. Corneal light reflex test.
C. Snellen test.
D. Fluorescein test.
Explanation:
Corneal reflex tests are useful to diagnose strabismus (e.g., esotropia). To perform the test, shine
a light directly onto both corneas at the same time with the patient looking straight at the light source.
In patients with strabismus, the light reflected on the cornea appears off-center in the affected eye.
Note that corneal light reflex tests may not detect an intermittent strabismus. [Show Less]
