not follow through with this recommendation, and we were the next ophthalmologists to examine Mary.
Mary was otherwise healthy and
not on any medications.
We Get a Look
When we examined her, Marys visual
acuity with correction was 20/15 in
her right eye and 20/70 with pinhole
improvement to 20/40 in her left. Her
pupils were briskly reactive with no
relative afferent pupillary defect. Her
ocular movements were limited in the
right eye to 20 percent in all directions
of gaze. In the left eye, the limitation
was more severeno supraduction or
adduction was noted, but 20 percent of
infraduction and 60 percent of abduction remained (Fig. 1).
