Lionel – Initial consultation
GH: Good, no medicationsPOH: Glasses since teenagerVert: R) -0.50/-1.00x45 L) -0.75/-1.00x60 (Single vision distance gls)VA cc: R) 6/12 L) 6/9Near vision BEO = n5 slowly (takes glasses off to read)Subj Refn: R) -0.75/-1.00x50 = 6/9 pt L) No changeAdd +1.00 = n5 with light, BEO
Contrast (Pelli Robson):0.90 log BEO (moderately reduced contrast)Colour vision (CUCVT): non-specific colour vision loss, greater in the tritanzoneVisual field (Humphrey): severely constricted R&L to within 10 degrees from fixation

• Simple object
• Uncluttered table
• Instruct patient to search by moving their eyes
– ‘sweeping’ movement
– Up, down, left, right
