How do they test you for vertigo?

Main physical exam: Physical exam: dizziness prompted by eye or head movements that decrease in less than one minute; dizziness & specific eye movements occurring when on back with head turned to one side, tipped slightly over the edge of the examination bed showing involuntary movements of eyes from side to side (nystagmus); inability to control eye movements. Etiol: viral labyrinthitis, calculi, benign positiona.

Vertigo tests : Most vertigo tests are a specialized part of a physical exam. These tests do require a pair of frenzel lenses which essentially prevent the eyes from being able to focus. Most classic test is dix-hallpike test. Can do more sophisticated exams, like electronystagmogram, posturography, rotary chair and caloric testing. We also do full neurological tests, eye exam with visual acuity and audiogram.
