Fixation
The fixation normally should be central, steady and maintained (CSM) Fixation behavior and fixation preference testing can be described using the CSM (Central, Steady and Maintained) notation. Fixation during monocular viewing is described as central (foveal) or noncentral (eccentric), and steady (stable eye position) or non-steady (roving eye movements or nystagmus). Maintained refers to fixation that is held during binocular viewing after the opposite eye is uncovered during fixation prefer...

Brukner's reflex
Brukner's reflex can help in rapid screening of the refractive errors. The test is performed in a dark room and both the eyes are simultaneously illuminated with the direct ophthalmoscope and the reflex is noted at a distance of 1 meter as well as at 3 meter . An inferior crescent suggests myopia, a superior crescent is seen in hyperopia. Resistance to occlusion of the eye with good vision also gives an estimation about the visual acuity discrepancies.
Worth's Ivory ball test
Claud Worth in 1896 introduced the ivory ball test for the visual acuity assessment of children between 1-3 years of age. There is a set of 5 balls ranging from 0.5 inch to 2.5 inch.

One eye is then covered and each ball is then thrown at a distance of 18 feet beginning from the largest and the child is asked to retrieve each of the balls. Visual acuity is assessed by the size of the smallest ball that can be seen by t...

Cardiff Acuity test
The test is based on the principle of vanishing optotypes and is a set of six cards with six easily recognizable shapes (house, fish, dog, duck, train) positioned either at the top or bottom half of a card. The cards are calibrated to give visual acuity of equivalent of 20/20 to 20/200 at 1 meter viewing distance. The child is comfortably seated and the cards are presented at eye level at a distance of 1 meter. The examiner watches the eye movements towards the shape. If the child is looking...
