the smallest line they can see. Normal is 20/20 Top number is 20ft away and the bigger
the bottom number the worse the patients vision is.

smallest line they are able to see with one eye covered. Vision 20/20
Peripheral Vision: Confrontation test-sit knee to knee and over same eye as patient.
Look directly at each other. Move fingers inward from superior, inferior, nasal and
temporal fields. Assure both seen fingers at the same time.

abnormal?
