Color blindness test present for this patient it indicates disease affecting optic nerve like gluacoma and also due to inherited problem with the cones in retina..

Media:

Astigmatism test abnormal 20/30 indicate blurred vision results unclear image due to abnormal curve of the cornea.light focus on retina is incorrect..

She is having abnormal astigmatism test it affect her vision showed in visual acuity test..she is having less score..she is already using eyeglass..she need corrective eyeglass, contact lens or surgery..

Edward:

Visual acuity test is poor 20/80.. he is having low vision or moderate visual impairments.and there is abnormal pupil reflex test it is due to optic nerve damage, oculomotor nerve damage and any depressant drug reaction also.. knee-jerk reflex test abnormal indicate poor involuntary muscular response determine some neuron problem..this may be due to aging or nerve damage..
