Hirschberg test

The Hirschberg test is a simple eye exam used to check how well your eyes work together. During the test, a doctor shines a small light into your eyes and watches where the light reflects on each cornea (the clear front part of your eye). If the reflections are centered and symmetrical, your eyes are aligned properly. If not, it may indicate a misalignment, such as strabismus. This quick, non-invasive test helps doctors assess eye coordination and plan further evaluation if needed.
