With Movement Retinoscopy. Neutralise the ‘with’ or ‘against’ movement. The retinoscopy reflex may be extremely dull with moderate to severe cataracts or significant corneal disease. As you move the retinoscope side to side, you will notice that the eye’s light reflex moves in certain ways. Move closer to see if a reflex can be seen with a stronger light stimulus. Compare the movement of the reflex in the pupil with the movement of the retinoscope. After neutralising the ‘with’ or ‘against’ movement, the secondary meridian should be 90 degrees away at the axis of the patient’s astigmatism. Determine whether the reflex in the pupil gives a “with” movement (the patient is hypermetropic) or an “against” movement (the patient is myopic). During static retinoscopy, the examiner observes for reflex neutralization during consistent patient fixation at an immovable visual stimulus, target, or optotype situated at optical. “with movement” means the reflex is moving in the same direction. It is simplest to begin two “sweeps” with the beam first at. Starting with the right eye, shine the retinoscopy streak into the patient’s eye and move it from side to side.
