Purpose: We report a case of optic neuritis related to infliximab treatment in a patient with Crohn’s disease, along with a review of the relevant literature.Case summary: A 22-year-male patient complained of blurred vision in the left eye for 2-3 weeks. His best-corrected visual acuity was 8/20 in the left eye. Relative afferent pupillary defect was detected in the left eye and the pupils were of equal size. There was no pain on ocular movement. The results of slit-lamp and fundus examinations were normal. A visual field test revealed a central to inferior visual field defect in the left eye. Orbit magnetic resonance imaging revealed perineural enhancement of the left optic nerve. He had a 5-year history of Crohn’s disease and had been treated with intravenous infliximab (600 mg every 2 weeks). A diagnosis of retrobulbar optic neuritis associated with infliximab was made. He was infused with high-dose methylprednisolone, which was changed to per oral administration. His visual acuity and visual field defect improved after 3 months.Conclusions: Tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors, such as infliximab, may cause optic neuritis. Therefore, history-taking is important for differential diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Introduction and Objective: Glaucoma is the leading cause of global irreversible blindness, signed by glaucomatous optic neuropathy related to visual field defect. The purpose of the study is comparing visual field defect examination using HVFA to Amsler Grid in glaucoma patient at dr. Kariadi Hospital. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Amsler Grid were performed to the patients who have reliable HVFA at last 6 months and presented as descriptive analytic results. Result: There were 40 eyes involved in this study from 27 patients (15 men, 12 women), 26-68 years old and visual acuity 1/60-6/6. Seventeen eyes showed visual field defect in HVFA and Amsler Grid had average MD - 24.97 dB, CDR 0.89 and RNFL thickness 51.74. We found that 11 eyes didn’t showed in both of examination had average MD -8.06, CDR 0.63 and RNFL thickness 103.23 and those parameters are significantly different to the 17 eyes before (p<0.05). Data from 12 eyes that showed visual field defect only one of examination (9 only in HVFA and 3 in Amsler Grid) didn’t show difference statistically each other. Conclusion: HFVA and Amsler Grid seemed to be comparable in detecting visual field defect in advanced glaucoma.

Objective. To describe a case of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) in an active duty patient.Methods. In this paper we studied fundus photographs, optical coherence tomograph, Humphrey visual field 30-2, fundus autofluorescence images, fluorescein angiograms, and electroretinography.Results. Exam findings on presentation: a 34-year-old American Indian female presented with bilateral photopsias, early RPE irregularity, and an early temporal visual field defect. Progression RPE damage and visual field defect along with ERG findings support final diagnosis of AZOOR.Conclusion. AZOOR may initially be identified as a broader category of disease called the “AZOOR complex of disorders”. Specific visual field defects, ERG results, and clinical exam findings will help distinguish AZOOR from other similar disorders.

Abstract Purpose To investigate the relationship of ocular blood flow (via arteriovenous passage time, AVP) and contrast sensitivity (CS) in healthy as well as normal tension glaucoma (NTG) subjects. Design Mono-center comparative prospective trial Methods Twenty-five NTG patients without medication and 25 healthy test participants were recruited. AVP as a measure of retinal blood flow was recorded via fluorescein angiography after CS measurement using digital image analysis. Association of AVP and CS at 4 spatial frequencies (3, 6, 12, and 18 cycles per degree, cpd) was explored with correlation analysis. Results Significant differences regarding AVP, visual field defect, intraocular pressure, and CS measurement were recorded in-between the control group and NTG patients. In NTG patients, AVP was significantly correlated to CS at all investigated cpd (3 cpd: r =  − 0.432, p< 0.03; 6 cpd: r =  − 0.629, p< 0.0005; 12 cpd: r =  − 0.535, p< 0.005; and 18 cpd: r =  − 0.58, p< 0.001), whereas no significant correlations were found in the control group. Visual acuity was significantly correlated to CS at 6, 12, and 18 cpd in NTG patients (r =  − 0.68, p< 0.002; r =  − 0.54, p< .02, and r =  − 0.88, p< 0.0001 respectively), however not in healthy control patients. Age, visual field defect MD, and PSD were not significantly correlated to CS in in the NTG group. MD and PSD were significantly correlated to CS at 3 cpd in healthy eyes (r = 0.55, p< 0.02; r =  − 0.47, p< 0.03). Conclusion Retinal blood flow alterations show a relationship with contrast sensitivity loss in NTG patients. This might reflect a disease-related link between retinal blood flow and visual function. This association was not recorded in healthy volunteers.
