A member asked:
If we go to eye specialists, for eye related complaints, then what do they check, with the help of torch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A torch: (or flashlight for non-British folks) is often used to check the pupillary response during the eye exam. It can be used for the external exam (eye lids, face etc) and to check the ocular alignment.
