Brückner test is performed in a semidark room using a direct ophthalmoscope to assess the red reflex from both eyes simultaneously at a distance of approximately 1 m. The clinician can quickly determine the clarity and symmetry of the 2 red reflexes and identify potentially amblyogenic conditions such as anisometropia, isoametropia, and ocular misalignment. A strabismic eye tends to give a brighter red reflex than does the fixating eye.

Interpretation of Bruckner Test:
NORMAL: If both eyes exhibit a similar bright red reflex.
Media opacity: When one/both eyes have dim/no reflex.
Strabismus: The eye with strabismus tends to display a brighter reflex, whereas the eye that is fixating tends to have a comparatively darker reflex.
Refractive errors: Crescent-shaped reflexes may be observed.
