32:21
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 the major causes of vision loss, risk factors for glaucoma, and how to evaluate the clarity of the lens and macula. More specifically, she addresses normal versus abnormal optic appearance, how to recognize a cataract and determine its effect on vision, how to evaluate whether a cataract is the only cause of visual decrease, how to examine the macula with an ophthalmoscope, and how to recognize the signs and symptoms of maculopathy.
