Study Notes

Reading Confrontation Test

A test used to measure visual field defects.
Bitemporal hemianopia: The patient cannot see objects in the outer (temporal) half of both eyes.
Homonymous hemianopia: The patient cannot see objects in one outer (temporal) half of one eye, and one inner (nasal) half of the other eye.
Normal result: The patient can see objects in all quadrants of both eyes.
The test is performed by having a patient identify the examiner's fingers as they are presented in different locations within the patient's visual field.
The examiner presents fingers in different quadrants of both eyes, typically in a grid-like pattern.
Positions: The examiner presents fingers in the upper, lower, inner, and outer quadrants of the patient's visual field.
Patient Response: The patient indicates whether or not they see the examiner's fingers.
The results of the test are documented for each quadrant of each eye, noting whether the patient could see the fingers or not.
This test is used to detect visual field defects related to various conditions affecting the visual pathways.
