What you'll learn

  • Learn how to perform retinoscopy through HD videos recorded directly from inside the Retinoscope
  • Tips for retinoscopy station in your refraction exam
  • Learn many ways to perform retinoscopy ( either using sphere lenses only or using both sphere + cylinder lenses )
  • How to practice on model eye

Course content

5 sections • 24 lectures • 1h 41m total length

  • The Retinoscope2:24

    Most modern retinoscopes have plane mirror effect with the sleeve down, and concave mirror effect with the sleeve up.
    Only Copeland retinoscope design(which is rarely used nowadays) has the reverse ( concave mirror effect with the sleeve down, and plane mirror effect with the sleeve up)

  • Set up5:05

    Set up retinoscopy by dimming room lights and maintaining a 66 cm walking distance. Use appropriate lenses for adults and children and apply cycloplegic drops for infants to relax accommodation.

  • a. Types of red reflex with retinoscopy1:39
  • b. Explanation of red reflex behavior3:18
  • Neutralization technique3:55

    Demonstrate the neutralization technique in static retinoscopy with trial plus lenses, moving the reflex toward the retina until reaching neutral point. Prepare to assess astigmatism and compensate for working distance.

Requirements

  • No previous retinoscopy experience needed
  • Basic understanding of Myopia, Hypermetropia and Astigmatism

Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

Retinoscopy is an objective method to determine the refractive error of an eye ( Farsighted, Shortsighted, Astigmatism ) 

In this unique course, I will take you through the steps for performing retinoscopy through high-quality videos/ examples recorded directly from inside the Retinoscope which show retinoscopic reflex very clearly, aiming to make your life easy and increase your confidence with this highly important skill, to apply it in your daily practicing and for exams as well.
I tried to make all the videos straight to the point.

*Together we will learn :
- About the retinoscope itself
- Types of retinoscopic reflexes
- Positioning and set up while performing retinoscopy
- What to do to relax the patient's accommodation
- Neutralization technique in static retinoscopy
- Sphere lenses method in performing retinoscopy
- Sphere + cylinder lenses method
- Dealing with children and adults
- HD videos recorded uniquely from inside the retinoscope
- Break phenomenon
- Power cross
- Working distance compensation
- Adjusting trial frame
- Tips for optometry and ophthalmology exams
- How to practice on a model eye
- How to write the retinoscopic refraction

I've built the course that I would have wanted to take when I was learning retinoscopy!
Give your patients the best!
