red reflex test

How is the Red Reflex Test Performed?

The test is usually performed using an ophthalmoscope. The healthcare provider will darken the room, ask the baby to look in a particular direction, and shine the light from the ophthalmoscope into each eye. The provider looks through the ophthalmoscope to observe the reflection from the retina. The test is quick, painless, and can be performed in a matter of seconds.
