Ophthalmology · Ocular motility

Sample item

A patient reports seeing two images of a single object; what symptom is being described?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. Double vision

The defining Ocular motility relationship supports Double vision; it is the option that directly accounts for the examination finding or clinical priority in this sample.

Option by option

  • A. Loss of smell

    Loss of smell does not explain the stated ocular motility feature.

  • B. Double vision (correct)

    Correct. Double vision directly fits the key clue in the scenario.

  • C. Swallowing difficulty

    Swallowing difficulty is unsupported by the symptom pattern or examination result.

  • D. Reduced hearing

    Reduced hearing can be relevant elsewhere but is not the best conclusion here.
