Duane's retraction syndrome and the relief of secondary torticollis and near point asthenopia with prism.
A young woman presented with complaints of reading difficulty. An examination revealed that the patient had Duane's Retraction Syndrome--Type III, which affected her right eye. We prescribed yoked prism base left and additional base-in prism for the right eye in a successful attempt to alleviate the patient's symptoms.
