The Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1988
For almost 40 years, neuro-ophthalmologists have debated the efficacy of corticosteroids as a treatment for optic neuritis. Several studies have investigated corticosteroid and corticotrophin treatment in optic neuritis, but all have been inconclusive because of either small sample size or poor design. 1-3 Today we are no more certain of the benefit of

Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial Study

Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 1994
Four percent of the white population in the United States are color blind. Is that figure of clinical value? Not really, just as might be the case for the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial (ONTT) study. 1 One cannot lump statistics when the incidence of a condition is different for men and women.

The SKILL Card in the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial

Vision Science and its Applications, 1997
Optic neuritis is an acute, inflammatory disease of the optic nerve that is usually accompanied by ocular pain, affects more women than men, and may be associated with multiple sclerosis1. A broad range of visual functions are typically affected. The severity of the visual loss varies from a slight visual field deficit to no light perception. Even when
