| Examination | | On examination, visual acuity was hand movements in the right eye and no light perception (NLP) in the left eye. There was no relative afferent papillary defect. Pupils were round and reactive to light. The anterior segments were normal. On dilated fundus examination, she was found to have a grossly swollen right optic disc (Figure 1) and a pale left optic disc (Figure 2). | |
