One learner performs. One learner checks the key steps and gives feedback. Then swap roles. This is a practice aid, not an official mark scheme.

MLA · Paired examination practice
You are a medical student. Examine the eyes and vision. Present your findings and discuss appropriate next steps with the responsible clinician.
Suggested practice time: 8–10 minutes for a focused run, followed by feedback. Allow longer to practise the full sequence. This is not an official examination timing.
Examiner / observer
Tick the actions you observe. Discuss any step that was not needed for this examination; unchecked boxes are not a score.

How would you present your findings and their significance? Report acuity with correction, pupils, fields, movements and the fundal view actually obtained. Sudden visual loss, severe pain, field loss or significant trauma requires urgent specialist review.
What would you do next, and why? Explain the important uncertainty, a relevant next assessment and when help is needed. State what you could not assess.
