The optic nerve contains axons of nerve cells that emerge from the retina, leave the eye at the optic disc, and go to the visual cortex where input from the eye is processed into vision.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT): this test allows ophthalmologists to look at outer and inner layers of the retina; Fundus autofluorescence: shows areas of unhealthy cells in the retina; Blood work: the labs can show how immuno-compromised an individual is; Vitreous Tap: Analysis of the fluid in the eye can show the causative organism, such ...
The person then closes one eye, and then the other. The person should notice that the target appears larger to the eye that it is directly in front of.
