What my second brain bleed caused...
I now have INO which means Internuclear ophalmoplegia. It is a medical sign indicative of a particular cause of extrocular muscle weakness. It can affect either one or both eyes. It is a disorder of conjugate lateral gaze in which the affected eye shows impariment of adduction. When the partner eye is abducted, it diverges from the affected eye. THis produced horizontal diplopia. That is, if the right eye is affected the patient will "see double" when looking to the left and the images will be side by side. During extreme abduction, compensatory nystagmus can be seen in the partner eye. Convergence is generally preserved.
