Eye exam question s/l "5 to 4 bilaterally" - Trisha
Posted: Nov 10, 2012
In doing an eye exam, doc says "Pupils are equal and reactive to light. There is no pallor or icterus s/l "5 to 4" bilaterally. EOMI with no nystagmus." It sounds like "5 to 4" or "5:4" if it's a ratio, and I don't know that it is. I've typed for this guy for about 3 years and he has just started saying it. Any ideas what or why he is saying it? Thanks in advance.
5 to 4, as in pupils constrict from 5 mm down to 4 mm bilaterally with light - sm
[ In Reply To ..]separate from icterus with some punctuation.
Thank you, smart girl! - Trisha
[ In Reply To ..]I had to give up last night and go to bed, so when I saw your reply today I was as excited as I was waiting to see overnight election results last week!
The doc has only recently started using this phrase, so I wasn't sure if I was hearing it correctly or if it was a ratio or whatever. I appreciate your expertise and taking the time to help.
You're very welcome. :) Not really smarts, though... - just experience/exposure.
