The results of the physical examination provides for the sum of:
• Exterior examination of the eye.
• Estimates of the volume of eye movements.
• Assessment of pupillary response.
Instrumental research should include:
• Ophthalmoscopy.
• Inspection of fields of view.
• Computed tomography and / or MRI of cerebral vessels.
