We report a 70-year-old women with left hemifacial metamorphopsia due to an infarction in the right retrosplenial region. She firstly noticed that the left half of her face reflected in the mirror was distorted. She complained of the same kind of distortion when she looked at the face of humans. Neurological examination on admission showed no other symptoms. Her visual acuity and visual field w...

Acuity is the most commonly used measure of visual function, and reductions in acuity are associated with most eye diseases. Metamorphopsia--a perceived distortion of visual space--is another common symptom of visual impairment and is currently assessed qualitatively using Amsler (1953) charts. In order to quantify the impact of metamorphopsia on acuity, we measured the effect of physical spati...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of metamorphopsia using M-CHARTS™ in patients with idiopathic macular hole before and after pars plana vitrectomy and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. PATIENTS AND METHODS The records of 22 eyes of 22 patients with a full-thickness macular hole who underwent pars plana vitrectomy and ILM peeling were reviewed. All patients...

Introduction: To evaluate a case of bilateral diminution vision with metamorphopsia and hyperdeviation. This is retrospective descriptive study data was gathered from series questionnaire investigative analysis. Case Report: A 27-yea

PURPOSE Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy (AFVD) is often misdiagnosed as occult choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The authors report the anatomic and functional outcome of intravitreal bevacizumab in a case of AFVD associated with a suspected occult CNV. METHODS Prospective, interventional, single case report. One female pati...

PURPOSE To describe a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to correct myopia. METHODS We performed PRK in both eyes of a 20-year-old girl to correct myopia. Refractive error was -4.75 -2.25 × 5 in the right eye and -5.00 -1.25 × 180 in the left eye. Metamorphopsia was noticed by the patient in the right eye one month after the surgical procedu...
