Question

Why do medical practitioners focus torches into any accident victim's eyes?

• A. Check damage to eyes
• B. Check signs of life
• C. Check size of pupil
• D. Check for capillary burst

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Check size of pupil

Medical practitioners check the size of the pupil in both eyes. If the size of the pupil found to be same then it is assumed that there's no internal hemorrhage. If the size of pupil in both eyes are different, then medical doctors shift patient to emergency ward to check the source of internal hemorrhage and proceed accordingly.
