Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy--recurrent attacks in one eye in a bilateral case.
Subsequent involvement of the fellow eye is common in anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, but recurrent episodes in one eye are extremely rare. Our hypertensive patient had one eye attacked nine years before and two episodes in the second eye within ten days of each other. Visual-field examination revealed progressing field loss, and fluorescein angiography demonstrated an enlarged disc hypofluorescence area.
