A 77-year-old man with a history of Buerger's disease developed an anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. This disease, while rare in the United States at the present time, is common in other parts of the world. None the less, this appears to be the first reported case of this type of optic neuropathy in a patient with documented Buerger's disease. A possible mechanism is suggested.

Optic neuritis (ON) is the inflammation of the optic nerve. 'Typical' ON is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and its classic triad includes sudden loss of vision, pain with eye movement and dyschromatopsia. It usually has good visual outcome irrespective of treatment.

Colour vision defects (CVDs) can be both congenital and acquired, with acquired dyschromatopsia often associated with medication toxicity. This review explores various standardised colour vision tests used to detect these defects, including the Ishihara plate test, Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test, and anomaloscopes. These methods are evaluated for their effectiveness in diagnosing CVDs, particularly in acquired conditions.

Purpose: We aimed to build a machine learning-based model to predict radiation-induced optic neuropathy in patients who had treated head and neck cancers with radiotherapy.
Materials And Methods: To measure radiation-induced optic neuropathy, the visual evoked potential values were obtained in both case and control groups and compared. Radiomics features were extracted from the area segmented which included the right and left optic nerves and chiasm.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, commonly causing sensory disturbances, motor weakness, impaired gait, incoordination and optic neuritis (ON). According to the statistics, up to 50% of MS patients experience vision problems during the disease course, suffering from blurred vision, pain, color vision deficits, and even blindness. Treatments have progressed from corticosteroids to therapies targeted against B/T cells.

Objective: Evaluating the potential role of neuromuscular ultrasonography (NMUS) in assessing optic nerve affection in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), compared with healthy controls and other conventional strategies in diagnosing optic neuropathy.
Methods: We conducted an observational cross-sectional study comparing patients with SLE and a healthy group. We measured the optic nerve diameter (OND) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and calculated the OND/ONSD ratio and side-to-side difference.
