It typically includes looking at the eyelids, lashes, tear system, conjunctiva, sclera, and the alignment and movement of the eyes. It is commonly performed in routine eye checks, urgent visits for red eye or irritation, and trauma or infection evaluations. The goal is to quickly identify visible problems and guide what tests are needed next."}
