BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and outcome of optic neuropathy associated with thyroid-related orbitopathy. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients diagnosed as having optic neuropathy associated with thyroid-related orbitopathy who underwent treatment for optic neuropathy between January 1, 1999, and March 1, 2003, were reviewed. Demographic and clinical data were extracted ...

Vision loss is rarely associated with noninfectious human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) retinopathy in HIV positive patients with normal CD4 counts. 1 Ophthalmologists should be aware that HIV retinopathy may be the cause of visual loss in a subset of HIV patients without infectious neuroretinitis who are otherwise stable. Electrophysiological testing has high diagnostic value in these patients....

A 30-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a two-day history of pain in her right eye that was worse with eye movements. She also complained of blurred vision in the right eye. She had no float-ers or eye redness and did not have recent trauma. Her ocular and medical history were unremark-able, and she was not taking medications. On physical examination, the patient appeared...

LETTERS Case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy with altitudinal hemianopsia Since the clinical entity of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) was initially proposed, 1 it has been noted that the visual loss may be misattributed to lesions in the optic nerve or central nervous system. Even with a likely visual field defect for those diseases—an afferent pupillary defect and reduced...

Report of a Case. A 23-year-old healthy man visited the emergency department with decreased vision in his left eye. His best-corrected visual acuities were 20/20 OD and light perception OS. There was a left afferent pupillary defect. Slitlamp and fundus examination results of the right eye were unremarkable. Dilated funduscopic examination of the left eye was limited due to a vitreous hemorrhag...

Purpose We determined whether there is relative sparing of pupil function in glaucoma patients with normal pressures compared to those with high pressures. Methods A cross-sectional study was done of 68 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG): 38 had normal IOPs on all-day phasing before treatment (never >21 mm Hg), with confirmed progression of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (NTG) an...

A 15-month-old male presented with a one-day history of acute onset, continuous oscillating movement of his right eye. He had received his one-year immunizations four days prior and had a four-day history of a febrile viral respiratory tract infection. Pregnancy was unremarkable. He had severe iron deficiency anemia (MCV 66, Hb 65) and was developmentally delayed, as he was unable to stand inde...

A 42-year-old woman presented with loss of vision and progressive proptosis in her right eye from one year before. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/30 and 20/20 in her right and left eyes, respectively. A mild relative afferent pupillary defect existed on the right side. Exophthalmometric readings were 27 and 20 mm in the right and left eyes, respectively with no ocular deviation or restrict...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the development of subfoveal fluid associated with optic disc swelling from nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. METHODS Optical coherence tomographic studies obtained during a 3-year period (October 1, 2003, to December 30, 2006) from 76 patients who developed ischemic optic neuropathy from 2 institutions were evaluated. The presence or absence, and the d...
