Features and function of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe and compare the tomographic features and macular abnormalities of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) during the disease course. METHODS: In 5 patients (5 eyes) with characteristic MEWDS lesions (hypofluorescent in ... Read more...

Progression of optic neuropathy after disc hemorrhage in primary angle-closure glaucoma.

6 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: We describe progressive optic neuropathy after recurrent disc hemorrhages in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma. CASES: Three Taiwanese Chinese patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma and recurrent disc hemorrhages were ... Read more...

A shot of adrenaline.

30 Aug 2009 Acute macular neuroretinopathy is a rare disorder characterized by the sudden onset of unilateral or bilateral paracentral scotomas with relative sparing of the central vision that occurs mostly in young women. It is often characterized by ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Scotoma'

Definition: A localized defect in the visual field bordered by an area of normal vision. This occurs with a variety of EYE DISEASES (e.g., RETINAL DISEASES and GLAUCOMA); OPTIC NERVE DISEASES, and other conditions.
