The Swinging Flashlight Test - Flawed Execution and Interpretation in Ophthalmological Routine.

CONCLUSION: The rate of correct answers appears disturbingly low. The swinging flashlight test being a basic tool and an obligatory test in a number of guidelines should rather be performed nearly error-free. In light of the high error rates, misdiagnoses and treatment errors must be feared. Better training seems necessary. PMID: 33202459 [PubMed - in process]
