    When patients present for double vision, should you image them immediately or can you wait? In this interview from AAO 2014, Drs. Andrew Lee and Nicholas Volpe discuss their approach to managing patients with isolated third, fourth, and sixth cranial nerve palsies. These two leading experts don’t always agree on which patients require prompt neuroimaging, if at all. They also discuss when comprehensive ophthalmologists should refer to a specialist.
