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.
