2 -- The primary functions of the eye are to encode the patterns of light from the environment through photoreceptors and to carry the coded information from the eyes to the brain. The brain gives meaning to the coded information, and interprets what is seen. Inadequate information is provided to determine the location of the infarct. The patient’s clinical manifestations are not consistent with another stroke. There is no indication of the patient’s verbal abilities.
