| Description |
It is important to elicit from the patient the timing (tempo) of the visual loss, including the onset and course of each of the symptoms. For example, optic neuritis often develops over a few days, stabilizes and then shows improvement over a period of weeks. Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy begins suddenly with little by way of progression or resolution thereafter (1). Central serous retinopathy, by comparison, often comes on more insidiously. |
