[Post-alcoholic neuropathy of the optic nerve].
The authors presents 36 patients, aged 17-62 years, who, after use of alcohol, developed optic neuropathy in both eyes, causing deterioration of vision of various intensity. In spite of the applied treatment, in 14 cases no improvement of visual acuity was achieved, because of the complete optic nerve atrophy. In the other 12 patients the visual acuity improved but partial optic atrophy with remarkable changes in visual field remained.
