Chapter 2: Acute Vision Loss
28:10
This video is part of a series of lectures based on the Academy’s Basic Ophthalmology textbook, an ideal complement to the medical student curriculum. In this video, Dr. Pavlina Kemp reviews how to evaluate a patient complaining of a sudden decrease in visual acuity, construct a differential diagnosis, and recognize situations requiring urgent action. To help clinicians achieve these objectives, she addresses which questions to ask the patient; which examination techniques are appropriate, including visual field testing, red reflex evaluation, and ophthalmoscopy; and which conditions are most likely to cause acute vision loss.
