1. Conjunctivitis.
2. Strabismus.
3. Amblyopia.
4. Cataracts.

Rationale 1: Conjunctivitis is an infection of the conjunctiva and is diagnosed by appearance, not a test.
Rationale 2: Strabismus is crossed eyes and is evaluated by the cover-uncover test.
Rationale 3: Amblyopia is "lazy eye" and is a vision disorder. It is not tested by the cover-uncover test.
Rationale 4: Cataracts can be evaluated by viewing the retina, not by the cover-uncover test.
