A patient's eye examination reveals limited central vision. The nurse would conduct further assessment for problems with which structure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The macula is responsible for central vision, so limited central vision would indicate a potential problem with this structure. The sclera is the white outer layer of the eye, the lens is responsible for focusing light onto the retina, and the extraocular muscles control eye movement and positioning. Limited central vision would not be directly associated with problems with these structures.
