Physical care and clinical work need trained hands, close observation and a person who is accountable at the bedside or chairside.
Part of Administer diagnostic tests to assess patient health, under the O*NET work activity group Inspecting Equipment, Structures, or Materials. Individual tasks below can carry a different label when their own wording calls for it (0 AI-ready, 0 AI-assist, 24 stays human).
Tasks built on this activity
- Examine eyes, using observation, instruments, and pharmaceutical agents, to determine visual acuity and perception, focus, and coordination and to diagnose diseases and other abnormalities, such as glaucoma or color blindness.
- Examine patients with problems related to ocular motility, binocular vision, amblyopia, or strabismus.
- Perform diagnostic tests or measurements, such as motor testing, visual acuity testing, lensometry, retinoscopy, and color vision testing.
- Conduct tonometry or tonography tests to measure intraocular pressure.
- Measure visual acuity, including near, distance, pinhole, or dynamic visual acuity, using appropriate tests.
- Operate ophthalmic equipment, such as autorefractors, phoropters, tomographs, or retinoscopes.
- Conduct tonometry or tonography tests to measure intraocular pressure.
- Measure visual acuity, including near, distance, pinhole, or dynamic visual acuity, using appropriate tests.
- Perform comprehensive examinations of the visual system to determine the nature or extent of ocular disorders.
- Conduct ocular motility tests to measure function of eye muscles.
- Conduct ocular motility tests to measure function of eye muscles.
- Conduct visual field tests to measure field of vision.
- Assess refractive condition of eyes, using retinoscope.
- Conduct visual field tests to measure field of vision.
- Perform slit lamp biomicroscopy procedures to diagnose disorders of the eye, such as retinitis, presbyopia, cataracts, or retinal detachment.
- Conduct tests, such as the Amsler Grid test, to measure central visual field used in the early diagnosis of macular degeneration, glaucoma, or diseases of the eye.
- Assess refractive conditions of eyes, using retinoscopes.
- Conduct binocular disparity tests to assess depth perception.
- Assess abnormalities of color vision, such as amblyopia.
- Conduct binocular disparity tests to assess depth perception.
- Perform fluorescein angiography of the eye.
- Conduct low vision blindness tests.
- Perform vision screening of children in schools or community health centers.
