ANS: D
Ocular alignment is demonstrated through the Hirschberg test. When a light is shone directly into the child's eyes, the reflection should fall in the same location on the cornea of both eyes. Displacement of the corneal light reflection is indicative of strabismus. Color blindness is assessed with the Ishihara pseudochromatic charts. Cataracts are assessed via the red reflex.
