The doctor dictates cerumen impactions bilaterally. Is it correct to type cerumen impaction, bilaterally? Thanks

Well...if the patient has cerumen impactions in each ear, then "cerumen impactions, bilaterally" would be what I would transcribe.

If the patient has a cerumen impaction in each ear, then I would transcribe "cerumen impaction, bilaterally."

The second option is probably more logical.

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. ...
