Purpose: To describe two men with birdshot retinochoroidopathy whose severe subjective visual symptoms were controlled by long-term use of low-dose oral corticosteroid therapy.
Method: Chart review.
Results: Vision improved subjectively in both men after initial treatment with oral prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) and remained stable while taking 5 mg daily or less of prednisone for periods of 54 and 81 months.
Conclusion: Some patients with birdshot retinochoroidopathy do well with no long-term therapy or only low-dose oral corticosteroids as long-term therapy.
