Abstract

We take our vision for granted. The smooth coordination of both the eyeballs that gives us a crystal clear vision is a boon. When this mechanism fails, life gets severely disrupted. We present a case here who’s been suffering from bilateral drooping of eyelids, diplopia, falls because of visual incoordination and severe depression resulting from above.
