Narrow beam of light is aimed so that only a narrow segment of the eye is brightly lighted.The
examiner can then locate position of any abnormality.

,measurement of intraocular pressure
8. electroretinography
The process of graphing the retina's response to light stimulation. Helpful in detecting and
evaluating blood vessel changes from disease or drugs. Graph is obtained by placing a contact
lens electrode on an anesthetized cornea. Lights at varying speeds and intensities are flashed,
and the neural re- sponse is graphed. The measurement from the cornea is identical to the
response that would be obtained if electrodes were placed directly on the retina

- stand 20 ft away
- read lines until 3 mistakes made
