Subject: woman, 27 years of age. Left eye is normal. In right eye,
vision varies from day to day; observed range is 20/15 at best to
20/230 at worst. Eye exhibits flattened affect, is unresponsive to
therapy. Subject complains that eye sees voices, tends towards
impulsive and exaggerated behavior. Extensive rupture of the choroid
and laceration of the retina may have led to present condition.
Previous physician diagnosed retinal bipolar disorder, and prescribed
direct lithium injection into vitreous humour, a treatment which is,
in hindsight, clearly contraindicated.
Suggestion: withhold treatment at this time, as eye lends fantastic
cast to subject's perception, but does not otherwise impair day-to-day
life.
