Optometrists can screen for neurologic dysfunction using clinical tests. This provides valuable insights into ocular and systemic diagnoses related to neurologic disease, improving communication with other healthcare providers.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Clinical Optometry

Background:

  • The eye is a direct extension of the nervous system.
  • Ocular manifestations are common in various neurological diseases and disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on neurologic examination in optometry.
  • To provide recommendations for optometrists examining patients with neurologic dysfunction.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of ophthalmic and medical literature.
  • Organization of findings for clinical application.

Main Results:

  • Many neurologic function assessment tests are feasible in optometric settings.
  • Optometrists can identify ocular and systemic signs of neurologic disease.
