Clinical scenarioA 42-year-old woman presents with new painless loss of vision in her left eye. The symptoms have been present since yesterday and began with blurred vision, progressing to loss of vision on the temporal aspect of her left eye. Her external ocular examination including slit lamp examination is unremarkable and her intraocular pressures are 18 mmHg bilaterally. In-person ophthalmology consultation is not available in the Emergency Department and the clinician wonders whether this could be a retinal detachment.
