Cover-uncover test

The cover-uncover test is an eye exam used to check for a condition called eye misalignment or strabismus. During the test, a doctor covers one eye and observes the other for any movement. When the cover is removed, the previously covered eye is watched to see if it moves to focus properly. This movement indicates if the eyes are working together correctly or if one eye is misaligned. The test helps diagnose eye coordination issues, ensuring proper alignment for good vision and depth perception.
