Abstract
A 78-year-old man with no significant medical history presented with a 1-day history of painless visual loss, described as a blackish area in the nasal field of his left eye. Examination revealed no eyelid or conjunctival abnormalities. Because of the unavailability of an ophthalmologist, an ocular point-of-care ultrasound was performed (Fig, A).
