    Radiation optic neuropathy presents as acute disc swelling, exudates, and hemorrhages. Unlike radiation retinopathy, vision may improve over months in radiation optic neuropathy cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurology
    • Radiation Oncology

    Background:

    • Radiation therapy can cause ocular complications.
    • Radiation optic neuropathy is a serious side effect impacting vision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the ophthalmoscopic findings in radiation optic neuropathy.
    • To differentiate radiation optic neuropathy from radiation retinopathy.

    Main Methods:

    • Ophthalmoscopic examination of 14 eyes with radiation optic neuropathy.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation and visual outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Acute presentation includes disc swelling, exudates, hemorrhages, and subretinal fluid.
    • Optic atrophy can occur in later stages.

  • Visual acuity may improve over several months, unlike radiation retinopathy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Radiation optic neuropathy appears secondary to vascular damage.
    • The potential for visual improvement distinguishes it from radiation retinopathy.
