Document Summary
Saw nothing & next thing she knew there was tea all over the place. Would see a car & next thing she knew it was right there. Could not see the motion of the cars & how fast moving -> could not plan crossing the street. Could not keep track of where people were going. If did not have blank screen in between images -> lose the motion cue & have a hard time finding the change even though it is right there in front of us. She reported that her vision was normal except she could not see motion. Described it as if at a party with a strobe light -> saw static frames of the world. Had trouble pouring tea -> did not see a stream but rather a frozen thing in space. Could not drive nor safely cross the street by herself.
