Question: 1 / 400

Central fixation

Corneal reflex is the same in both eyes

Central fixation refers to the ability of the eye to maintain a steady position and focus on a specific object or point in space. This is controlled by the muscles within the eye that control its movement and direction. A is the correct answer because with central fixation, both eyes are able to maintain a fixed position, including the corneal reflex which is the reflection of light off the cornea. This allows for accurate and synchronized vision between the two eyes. B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the concept of central fixation - the visual axis is not specifically on the blind spot, the retinal image is not always projected on the macula and the optic disc can be seen with other types of instruments besides a direct ophthalmoscope.
