Finnish optometrists’ competence to recognize, assess, and manage trochlear nerve palsy: A cross-sectional study

The results underscore the significance of continuous competence development and higher education in trochlear nerve palsy care. With additional training, recognizing and examining ocular nerve palsies would become easier and more familiar, lowering the threshold for examining ocular nerve damage or reacting to it. This first study on optometrists' competencies in Finland can help identify clinical competencies and target educational resources.
