Abstract:
Alcohol amblyopia is a disorder that affects a small percentage of alcoholic patients, most of whom are nutritionally deficient. A battery of tests is required to make the diagnosis including color vision and field testing. Once the diagnosis is made, physical, emotional, and visual rehabilitation should be undertaken. A case of alcohol amblyopia is presented along with optometric management techniques.
