Question: What does PERLA mean when conducting an eye exam!?
I am examining the medical records of a person who suffered a trauma to the eye and PERLA is marked as "yes!." What does this mean!?

Also, it is marked "yes" for EOMS intact!. What does this mean!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
PERLA is the check for eye pupils evenness, shape, reaction, light sensitivity etc!. Normally, not recorded as yes or no!.!.!. it's a more complicated and detailed recording of the reaction and observations!. but i guess the Yes indicated means pupils checked with no abnormalities!.

EOMS is extraocular muscles, the 6 muscles that control our eye movements!. intact is unharm!. So, it meant checked with no abnormalies!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
