Automated macular segmentation in compressive optic neuropathy and glaucomatous optic neuropathy
PurposeCompressive optic neuropathy (CON) can sometimes mimic glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), leading to inadequate management. Our purpose was to compare the macular area of patients with CON and GON to healthy controls (HC) and to determine if the macula area was able to distinguish between CON and GON.MethodsRetrospective, observational, cross ...

Double whammy – High voltage optic neuropathy and compressive optic neuropathy
Electric current flows in the body between two contact points. The degree of damage caused by the current is dependent on voltage intensity, tissue resistance, type of current, duration and area of contact and the route the current traveled within the body. Ophthalmic injuries are common with electrical damage to the body.
