Default ocular symptoms as diagnostic help

When my neuro referred me to another neuro in Boston, I googled him and found out that his main interest seems to be ocular myasthenia. I thought that was a bad fit, because I have only very mild eye symptoms.

I just wanted to report that his ocular expertise turned out to be a big help to me. He watched my eyes move, and I don't know what he saw, but he said they move in a way that he's only seen in myasthenic patients. It helped him confirm my diagnosis.

I'm just reporting this in case it might be helpful to someone else. I never would have thought to seek out an ophthalmologist or ocular specialist, since my eye symptoms are pretty low on my list of bothersome symptoms. But I'm grateful it worked out the way it did.
