Understanding the Anatomy of Vision

When evaluating patients with vision loss, distinguishing between monocular and binocular vision loss is crucial. By employing a 'where, what, why, how' approach, one can systematically assess the potential anatomical locations of visual abnormalities. Understanding the detailed anatomy of the eye, including the structures from the cornea to the optic nerve, is essential in identifying the potential areas where vision problems may arise.
