Eye Examination: OSCE Checklist

The OSCE checklist outlines the steps for performing a full eye examination, including assessing visual acuity, color vision, visual fields, inspecting the eyes, pupillary reflexes, eye movements, and performing a fundoscopy exam of the optic disc, retina, and macula of both eyes. The exam involves introducing yourself, gaining consent, positioning the patient, evaluating various visual functions, explaining each part of the exam, and concluding by summarizing findings and suggesting any needed follow-up exams.
