Deskripsi

This case report of a 78 year-old man demonstrates a case of bilateral optic neuropathy that does not completely fit the modern definition of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma. In this case, visual field testing does not substantiate a diagnosis of glaucoma, and retrograde optic neuropathy seems to be a more likely source for the optic nerve presentation. Clinicians are reminded that incomplete clinical pictures merit further scrutiny.
