Title Classification of Amiodarone Optic Neuropathy; A New Paradigm
Creator Chen, David; Hedges, Thomas R
Subject amiodarone; optic neuropathy; ischemic optic neuropathy
Description Amiodarone is used as an antiarrhythmic agent and has been associated with optic neuropathy. However, the similarity of the clinical manifestations to nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy makes this diagnosis difficult. In fact, there is controversy on whether or not amiodarone optic neuropathy actually exists, which may have medical-legal implications.
