the nerve head. Both retinae show a confluent mottling which completely obscures the macula. There are no hemorrhages
or exudates. The arteriovenous ratio is approximately 5 to 1.
Gross confrontation shows no apparent field cuts and no extinction to bimanual visual stimuli.
C. Quantitative Neuro-ophthalmologic Investigation
1. Photographs of exterior eyes (gross):
(Taken with a Zeiss 1.5 F. lens from 15 cm. using stroboscopic lighting). The conjunctival injection is visible; the absence
of pigmentation, the state of the pupils, and the axis of the eyes are clearly visible.

2. Goniometry: The intraocular pressures have been measured with a Schioetz Tonometer. The
readings were taken three times, on 19 November 1967, at 10:30 AM (two days after the subject
had seen the light).
Right Eye Left Eye
#1 18 20
#2 21 17

3. These consistently normal pressures would dictate against the presence of glaucoma.
4. Visual Acuity: Using the modified Snellen Charts, the right eye showed an acuity of 20/30 and
the left eye of 20/35.
5. Color Vision: (Measured with the American Optical Pseudoisochromatic Plates in 60
footcandles of light): moderate red-green dyschromanopsia was revealed about which the
patient claimed he had no previous awareness.
