Abstract

The eye examination is an important skill for the medical student and the general practitioner. Its implementation is critical when facing patients with eye symptoms that require a complete ophthalmologic evaluation and an adequate description of their symptoms. This article arises from the need for medical students and general practitioners in their daily clinical practice to conduct a proper eye examination in order to provide an adequate treatment or to give a referral to an ophthalmologist.
