Peripheral field loss: something old, something new.
A 37-year-old patient presented with acute visual field loss diagnosed as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in the setting of optic nerve drusen. Her visual field loss had progressed when compared to the visual field done 2 years previously. Fundus examination showed bilateral optic nerve head drusen and left retinal nerve fiber layer edema consistent with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.
