Title Ischemic Optic Neuropathy During Amiodarone Therapy
Creator Younge, Brian R; Feiner, Laurel A; Kazmier, Francis J
Subject Ischemic Optic Neuropathy; Amiodarone Treatment; Clinical Appearance; Ophthalmologic Examinations
Description Ischemic optic neuropathy has been found in a number of Amiodarone treated patients. The clinical apppearance and severity of the neuropathy is milder than that classically described. The incidence of occurence has been shown to be significantly higher than that expected in the general population. Whether this is due solely to Amiodarone therapy, to the underlying poor health of these patients, or to a combination of the two is uncertain.
