1 Goals Eye Exam Skills for Pediatric Providers: A Focus on Trauma Gil Binenbaum MD MSCE The Children s Hospital of Philadelphia No financial conflicts of interest to disclose NOT a RH talk PracOcal Eye anatomy Eye exam Eye injuries Ocular Orbital General Tips for Kids Eyes DistracOon and speed Don t direct to look at things just show them Don t ask permission make noises, sing! Proparacaine can use mulople Omes MoOlity, pupils, red reflex, etc., first Then hold down if necessary Get everything ready But think of next examiner SedaOon, exam under anesthesia Inspect Acuity Red reflex MoOlity Eye Examina4on I-ARM ABNORMALITY OR ASYMMETRY Eye Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy MoOlity and Alignment ABNORMALITY OR ASYMMETRY Eye Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy MoOlity and Alignment ABNORMALITY OR ASYMMETRY 1

2 Ge]ng the eyes open InteresOng fixaoon target Gauze on eyelid skin Eyelid margins [Speculum with proparacaine] Getting the eyes open Eyelid margin Medial Canthus: Cornea (transparent) with iris behind Limbus (edge of the cornea) Upper Lid Lateral Canthus Eyelid margin ConjuncOva (transparent) & Sclera (white) Lower Lid 2

3 Fluorescein Fluorescein Blue light (vs UV) and magnificaoon MulOple uses: corneal abrasion, corneal laceraoon & ruptured globe, exposure keratopathy, etc. Slit lamp FOREHEAD ON BAR High-intensity light source focused to shine as a slit, in conjunction with a microscope can see anterior segment Cataract Corneal diseases Uveitis Infections Trauma Portable slit lamp 3

4 Cell (UveiOs, traumaoc irios) AlternaOve source of slit beam (and of a blue light) Physical Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy MoOlity and Alignment ABNORMALITY OR ASYMMETRY Pupils Pupils Equal Round Reactive to Light And Accommodation 4

5 Round? Instead of PERRLA ReacOve to light? Right 4à2 Left 4à2 No APD (afferent pupillary defect) Need to check when focusing at distance, otherwise accommodating DDx is based on whether difference is greater in dark or in light 5

6 Pupils - Anisocoria Difference in pupil size Is difference greater in dark or light? DARK: Problem dilating (small pupil won t dilate) Horner Syndrome (ptosis, heterochromia) LIGHT: Problem constricting (large pupil won t constrict) Third nerve palsy (ptosis, XT, poor motility) Tonic pupil Pharmacologic (always ask if gotten eyedrops) Physiologic anisocoria Normal pupillary reactivity, usually < 1 mm difference Eyelids: MRD (margin-reflex distance) Ptosis: Horner syndrome (mild) vs 3 rd Nerve palsy (severe) MRI Head, neck, chest, +/- abdomen MRI brain, orbits Pupils - APD Afferent pupillary defect, or Relative afferent pupillary defect Optic nerve damage or bad retinal disease Not cataract, cornea, vitreous, functional disease Courtesy, Steve Galeka, MD Courtesy, Steve Galeka, MD Courtesy, Steve Galeka, MD 6

7 Physical Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy MoOlity and Alignment Visual Acuity Best corrected acuity (glasses ON) Each eye separately Methods Snellen (20 / X ) 5 year old 20/40 or beker Count fingers Fix and Follow 2 months of age Light percepoon (light averse) Physical Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy MoOlity and Alignment Red Reflex EXTREMELY USEFUL TEST EVERY KID Test both eyes together first Stand far enough away to look at both eyes Child can look right at you Turn dial on direct ophthalmoscope until in focus Examine reflexes Can then come in closer to look at each eye Refer any asymmetry (brightness, color, etc.) or abnormality 7

8 Leukocoria & Abnormal red reflex URGENT REFERRAL DDx Cataract Retinoblastoma Coats disease Retinal detachment Uveitis Infection PHPV Strabismus High refractive errors Etc Leukocoria & Abnormal red reflex TRAUMA RELATED DDx Corneal injury Hyphema Cataract Lens dislocation Vitreous hemorrhage Retinal detachment Extensive retinal hemorrhage (?) Physical Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy MoOlity and Alignment Funduscopic Landmarks Optic Disc papilla Vascular arcades Macula Between arcades Central vision Fovea Center of macula, dark spot Greatest visual acuity Posterior pole Periphery Sides of eye NOT the back Near, mid, far Ora serata 8

9 Ophthalmoscopic Fundus Exam Tips for ophthalmoscopic exam (DIRECT ophthalmoscope) TIP 1: Maximize pupil size Dilate (tropicamide 1% shortest acong) Undilated: Fixate at distance, dim lights TIP 2: Need to be VERY CLOSE Harder to get close enough in kids Use child s head or shoulder to stabilize Can start inches from child but need to get closer Not close to close enough Ophthalmoscopic exam TIP 1: Large pupils TIP 2: Get close TIP 3: Approach 30 degrees from midline That is the angle of opoc nerve inseroon Keep child fixated ahead in distance Choose medium or large light size Look through ophthalmoscope to red reflex Turn dial to focus unol vessels are in view TIP 4: Keep in mind spot size for perspec4ve Field of View (spot size) Direct Ophthalmoscope 9

10 Indirect Ophthalmoscope Field of View (spot size) Indirect Ophthalmoscope 3D Direct ophthalmoscope 2D Field of View (spot size) Indirect Ophthalmoscope 3D Direct ophthalmoscope 2D Tip 5: Follow the arrows 10

11 Follow the arrows Ophthalmoscope TIPS 1. Large pupils 2. Get close 3. Approach at angle to aim for opoc disc 4. Know spot size 5. Follow arrows to disc 6. When tracking vessels never turn your wrist, always turn your whole body-arm-scopehead as one unit Blurred margins Vessel obscuraoon Disc elevaoon 11

12 PanopOc much beker 12

13 Prac4cal Fundus Exam Red Reflex Very useful test Direct ophthalmoscopy Most likely use is to look at opoc disc Not sufficient to rule out a reonal problem/ trauma Not sufficient for SCAN/re4nal hemorrhage exam Requires dilated, indirect exam Scleral depression Exam tool for visualizing far periphery 13

14 Physical Examina4on I-ARM Inspect Anterior Anatomy and Pupils Acuity Red reflex and Posterior Anatomy Mo4lity and Alignment MoOlity (and Alignment) MoOlity Good fixaoon object (toy) Don t need to direct Alignment Hirshberg (corneal light reflex) Cover uncover test (each eye one at a Ome) D. C. D E. 14

15 MoOlity (and Alignment) Strabismus Esotropia eyes turning in towards each other Exotropia eyes turning out from each other Hypetropia Adults diplopia; children - suppress Comitant versus incomitant strabismus Incomitant: cranial nerve palsy, orbital lesion, myasthenia, thyroid eye disease, Duane s, etc. Head posioon Children and adults adapt to maintain binocularity Comitant esotropia (same in all direcoons) and head straight Comitant strabismus (simple exotropia, not a third nerve palsy) and head straight 15

16 Sixth Nerve Palsy Incomitant esotropia Fourth Nerve Palsy Third Nerve Palsy Involves Four Of Six Extraocular Muscles Levator (Lid Elevator) Pupil Ptosis Eye Down And Out Dilated Pupil (anisocoria worse in the light) à Emergent imaging 16
