how do we test for the optic as part of cranial nerve check, i mean this involves so many tests like visual acuity, reaction to light , visual fields,ophthalmaoscopy, should we do all this to check this nerve as part of cranial n check?

I would just do reaction to light, there is no time for the others.
I´m practicing the neruo cases several times to get efficient and fast, but still I can´t get them done on time , I think almost everyone has the same problem, so don´t panic, do your best and have in mind that maybe there will be no time for counseling for example

I would say that never sacrifice a whole section. Cut down a little on all if you dont have time .... that seems safe.

I was reading that it's more important to do the conclusion/counselling than to do a complete neuro exam/physical.
