Corneal Reflex | Procedure & Results Interpretation

The video tutorial explains the corneal reflex, highlighting its distinction from other superficial reflexes due to its involvement of cranial nerves, specifically the trigeminal and facial nerves. It details the reflex loop, describing how sensory input from the cornea is processed and results in bilateral blinking. The testing procedure involves using a sterile Q-tip to stimulate the cornea and observe the reflex. The video also covers how lesions in the trigeminal or facial nerves affect the reflex, leading to either no blinking or unilateral blinking, depending on the location of the lesion.
