Differentiation between recently resolved optic neuritis and central serous retinopathy. Use of tests of visual function
D. P. Han, H. S. Thompson and J. C. Folk
A test battery was performed on 13 patients with resolved central serous
retinopathy and on 13 patients with resolved optic neuritis to see whether
the tests would help to distinguish between the two conditions. We found
that the most useful discriminators were the relative afferent pupillary
defect, followed by the visual evoked potential latency and the critical
flicker frequency. The total error score on the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-Hue
Test and the nature of the color vision defect were not helpful in
separating the two diseases.
