The clinical importance of the pupil is often overlooked. This central opening in the iris is a very sensitive indicator of the functional integrity of the nervous system supply (innervations) of the iris muscles. Its reaction to light can be used to judge intactness of the retina and optic nerve. Unfortunately, pupil assessment is often a neglected skill. Many ophthalmic technicians lack the knowledge and understanding needed to make them comfortable with evaluating pupil function. This module provides ophthalmic medical personnel with information on pupil function. It reviews the anatomic structures of the iris and the factors that control the pupil’s color, shape, and size. It also describes how the pupil reacts to light, near stimulation, and the effect of pharmacologic agents on the pupil. Common causes of afferent and efferent pupillary defects are reviewed. This module describes a systematic approach to evaluating the pupil that will help the examiner identify common pupillary abnormalities.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe the innervations to the iris sphincter and dilator muscles
• Describe how the pupil reacts to light and near
• Identify and describe the actions of mydriatric and miotic drugs
• Explain the importance of color and shape in evaluating the eye
• Describe normal and abnormal pupillary responses
• Formulate a systematic approach to evaluating the pupils

Headache is a symptom often encountered by ophthalmologists and ophthalmic medical personnel. A patient with headache may feel that his or her pain is eye-related or may experience periocular or visual symptoms, prompting a clinical visit. Although usually a benign symptom, headache may be a sign of serious disease. Taking a thorough history of patients with headache is extremely important because many of the common headache syndromes are diagnosed based on symptoms and show no abnormalities on examination. Nevertheless, after a thorough history, the ophthalmologist’s responsibility is to identify any ophthalmic cause of the pain and to guide further work-up if other causes are suspected.

Learning Objectives:

• List the important elements in obtaining a history from patients with headache
• Describe the characteristic features and treatments of common types of headaches
• Explain various ocular causes of headache
• Identify components in the history and examination that may indicate the need for further systemic evaluation in patients with headache

The use of gray-scale sonography of the eye has proven itself in ophthalmology for diagnosing ocular and extraocular masses or infection, retinal and choroidal detachments, and detection of foreign bodies. As technology has advanced, the possibility of using linear array transducers within a clinic or emergently in the hospital setting has been suggested. Linear array transducers are routinely used in other areas of sonographic imaging. Specifically, they are used to see structures close to the skin surface, like blood vessels, thyroid, testicles, breasts, and eyes. This method, using linear array transducers allows the operator to accurately identify intraocular structures and also determine blood flow to the eye. Within this module, a schematic is provided for ophthalmologists, ophthalmic assistants, or sonographers to follow to ensure complete visualization of all intraocular structures. The ease of use, diagnostic utility, and efficacy of the technique are reported.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain available modes of sonographic imaging.
• Define the various controls used to optimize the sonographic image.
