Bezolda Triad

Bezold's triad is a test to determine the amount of fluid in the eye. This test is one of the most accurate and fastest ways to determine the state of the oculomotor system and diagnose eye diseases such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

It is important to note that this test can only be performed by a qualified ophthalmologist as it requires specific knowledge and experience. However, if you think you may have eye problems, it is not recommended to perform this test yourself. This should only be done after consulting a doctor.

The test consists of making three movements with the pupils. The first is fan-shaped (without contraction of the eye muscles), the second is interchangeable (cyclo-periodic or convergent-divergent) and the third is with maximum amplitude (binocular).

**First movement:** the patient looks straight at a given point in front of him at a distance of 3 meters. The doctor asks the patient to fold his hands so that they form a kind of letter V. With his hands, the patient describes an arc in the horizontal plane at chest level, while the patient’s gaze is focused on the tip of the doctor’s index finger, which is on the same side as the letter itself. The fan-shaped movement must be made at a distance of at least 60 centimeters
