Article Synopsis
- * In the first phase, neuro-ophthalmologists provided varying descriptions for visual field tests, averaging 7.5 unique descriptions per test, with some vague responses.
- * Following the creation of a consensus statement, the second survey showed a notable reduction in unique descriptions to 5.9 per test and a significant increase in clarity and decisiveness in terminology.
Background: No proven treatment exists for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), either in the acute or late phase.
Objective: To assess safety and changes in visual function and structure after RPh201/placebo treatment in participants with previous NAION.
Design And Setting: Phase 2a, single-site, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-masked trial (registration NCT02045212).
Purpose: To describe a thyroid orbitopathy patient who had asymmetric progression of exophthalmos due to orbital varicose vein.
Patient: A 55-year-old patient with thyroid orbitopathy had asymmetric progression of exophthalmos without complaints over 4 years of follow-up.
Results: In repeated computerized tomography (CT) of the orbit, a dilation of the superior ophthalmic vein was noted on the more proptotic eye, in addition to bilateral excessive orbital fat.
Aim: To report a rare case of swollen optic disc with hard exudates at the center of the retina (macula) with an unknown etiology (idiopathic).
Case Report: A 49 years old male complained of blurred vision in his left eye. He reported that ten years earlier a similar episode occurred in the right eye.
Background: To compare the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in eyes affected by non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) or glaucoma as determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: This cross-sectional institutional study included 18 eyes with NAION (at least 6 months since the acute event) and 29 eyes with glaucoma, both having localized visual field (VF) defects confined to one hemifield. Twenty-nine normal subjects served as controls.
We describe the development of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 2 patients after peribulbar (periconal) anesthesia during uneventful phacoemulsification. Although peribulbar anesthesia avoids direct optic-nerve injury, indirect injury presenting as CRAO may occur from vasospasm in response to the injection.

Design: Cross-sectional study.
