| Abstract;We studied the incidence of dissociated optic nerve fiber layer appearance (DONFL) and its relation with visual functions. Using fundus photography, we postoperatively examined 34 eyes of 33 patients (age: 39 to 78 years; mean: 62.8 years) who underwent vitrectomy for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (7 eyes) or macular hole (27 eyes) between January 2002 and June 2003. DONFL was present in 20 eyes (58.8%) of all subjects, in 17 eyes (63.0%) of macular hole, and in 3 eyes (42.9%) of idiopathic epiretinal membrane. In 5 eyes, DONFL could be detected only by fundus photography with blue filters. No difference was found between eyes with or without DONFL, in terms of postoperative improvement of visual acuity. The visual field was normal in 2 eyes with DONFL. The results suggest that DONFL appearance might not be related to significant abnormalities in visual function. (author abst.) |
