Case: A 29-year-old left-handed woman, with no visual problems, was referred to the NJMS Department of Ophthalmology following a visit to a new vision provider—to update a 10-year old contact lens prescription—who informed her that she showed signs of a brain tumor or possible multiple sclerosis. The vision provider referred her to an ophthalmologist, who, in turn, referred her to our service.
