This 42-year-old man was struck below the left eye eleven years ago. Immediately afterward he noted that the left eye was deviated upward and he saw double. He has no other complaints now. Visual acuity is 20/20 in each eye unaided. Except for the left hypertropia and the limited depression in the left eye, his eyes are normal. Because of the large deviation, it has not been possible to test him adequately for single binocular vision with prism. |
