Do operative interventions for IIH improve visual function?

1 April 2015 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, lumboperitoneal shunt, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, visual fields

The authors of this paper reviewed patient case notes to determine visual outcome following shunt surgery for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). A retrospective case notes review was conducted for 50 patients who underwent shunt surgery for IIH. Outcome measures included...

Functional visual field loss using automated static perimetry

1 February 2015 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | functional visual field loss, optic nerve, perimetry, visual fields

Functional visual field loss is traditionally assessed by kinetic perimetry, typically producing spiralling isopters. This study looked at the spatial distributions of functional field deficits using automated static perimetry. A retrospective review of automated perimetry records was conducted using a...

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy in the Asian population

1 October 2014 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Ischaemic optic neuropathy, visual acuity, visual fields

This article provides an evaluation of changes in visual function associated with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) among Korean patients. Visual changes were identified as a reduction in visual acuity by three Snellen lines or a deterioration of visual...
