5 Keys steps for assessment
of optic nerve function
• VA
• Colour Vision
• Relative afferent
pupillary defect
• Visual Field
• Optic Nerve
1. Visual Acuity
Best Corrected
Pinhole
Papillo-macular bundle
Glaucoma
• A collective term for group of potentially blinding
ocular conditions
• Characterised by peripheral visual field loss and
characteristic changes to the optic nerve head
• Can be:
– primary (occur by themselves), or
– secondary (other ocular condition causes it)
Primary Open Angle
Glaucoma
Normal
• Adult onset (> 40yrs)
• Angle normal and open
c/d = 0.3
cup
disc
• Higher IOP greater risk
Glaucoma
• Glaucomatous optic
nerve head damage
c/d = 0.8
• Visual Field loss
cup
disc
Open Angle Glaucoma
•
•
•
•
Asymptomatic
Genetic
Visual loss is irreversible
Most common cause of preventable
blindness
• Treatment is lifelong
2. Colour vision
• Optic nerve disease has
decreased colour out of
proportion to VA.
• Red desaturation classic
for compressive optic
neuropathies
• Tests:
– Ishihara
– Red target
3. Relative Afferent Pupillary
Defect
3. Relative Afferent Pupillary
Defect
• Objective sign of optic nerve compromise
• Can be used to monitor progression
• Provides a comparison of the two optic
nerves
Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect
(RAPD)
• Test in dim room with pt looking at the distance
• Use bright source of light about 30cm from pt’s
eyes
• Swing light b/w the eyes (2-3 sec on each eye)
• Make your decision within 2-3 swings

Circumstances when RAPD
assessment difficult
•
•

•
Both pupils dilated
Dark irides
Elderly- small constricted pupils
Damage to iris by surgery (cataract)
Presybopic examiner
Surrogate Tests for RAPD
• Brightness sense
• Red perception
Brightness sense
•
Test in dim room with pt looking directly
at the light
•
Use bright source of light
•
Ask:
1. Is light equally bright in both eyes?
2. If light is 100% bright in this eye (or worth
100 dollars) then how many percent (or how
many dollars) is it in the other eye?
