Correct Answer:

C

Explanation:

The Bruckner test is performed by shining a direct ophthalmoscope into both eyes to elicit a red reflex in both eyes simultaneously.  It can also be used to identify lens opacities and moderate to severe anisometropia.  This test is done mostly by primary care physicians to grossly detect strabismus.
