Objective Retinoscopy. Retinoscopy is an important skill to master in the field of eye care. [1] the examiner uses a retinoscope to. As a beginner, stay away from uncooperative patients (babies and mentally handicapped) and those with significant corneal or lens pathology. Based on the eye’s light reflex we can get a baseline reading and understanding of the patient’s refractive error. Retinoscopy (or skiascopy) is a technique that uses light and lenses to determine “where” the far point lands and quantifying that measure. Relevant qualitative input can be seen with the retinoscope as well. Set the “plane mirror” (condensing lens) right down on the retinoscope. The principal function of retinoscopy is the objective determination of refractive error. This “slows down” the reflex (by putting a wider beam onto the retina), making it easier to interpret. Retinoscopy is a technique to obtain an objective measurement of the refractive error of a patient's eyes. This technique presents the retinoscope light as a near stimulus to elicit direct fixation from the patient throughout the assessment and derives final objective values. It provides an objective measure of refractive error, making it extremely useful in pediatric exams and special.
