Six patients with poor visual acuity or visual field defects due to a stroke or a brain tumour were enrolled at a U.S. Ophthalmology Department. Participants were trained to use OrCam Read and given a loaner device for the 1 month duration of the study. Various assessments, including daily function tests, the National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire-25, and the 10-item neuro-ophthalmic supplement, were administered at the first and last visits. Patients’ experience with the device was evaluated with weekly telephone and end-of-study satisfaction surveys. The main outcome measures were the patient satisfaction with OrCam and the mean assessment scores between enrolment and final visits. The intervention with OrCam significantly improved patients’ ability to complete daily tasks and participants reported good satisfaction with the device. The results also show non-significant improvement with distant activities, dependency, and role difficulties. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of studying vision-related quality-of-life using a portable vision device in this patient population and pave the way for a larger study to validate the results of this study.","PeriodicalId":19257,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology","volume":"17 4S3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135873060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These pathogenic variants account for 90% of LHON cases, with rare pathogenic variants accounting for the remaining cases. We report the first Japanese case of LHON with the m.13051 G>A pathogenic variant, which is a rare primary pathogenic variant of LHON. A 24-year-old woman developed subacute visual loss in both eyes over several months. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/120 in her right eye (OD) and 6/7.5 in her left eye (OS). A relative afferent pupillary defect was not detected. Humphrey visual field testing revealed a central scotoma OD and a temporal paracentral scotoma OS. Fundus examination showed the presence of a pale optic disc OD and optic disc swelling with peripapillary microangiopathy OS. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging showed no abnormal findings. As the mitochondrial DNA gene testing demonstrated the m.13051 G>A pathogenic variant, the patient was diagnosed with LHON. Subsequently, her BCVA worsened to 6/600 in each eye, followed by a nearly plateau-like progression thereafter. This mutation has been primarily reported in Europe but has not yet been confirmed in the Asian region. This case also indicates the importance of examining the whole mitochondrial DNA gene for pathogenic variants in cases where one of the three major pathogenic variants has not been not detected.KEYWORDS: Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathyoptic neuropathym.13051G>A pathogenic variantmitochondrial diseasegenetic testing AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank the patient for her collaboration.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementAll data generated or analysed during this study are included in this article.

We carried out a retrospective analysis of visual field plots of patients with various neuro-ophthalmological conditions who underwent visual field testing using VRP and SAP and between 1 January and 31 May 2022. Two fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologists compared the visual field defects observed on both devices. Per cent agreement was used to compare the interpretation of the two examiners on both techniques. The study criteria were met by 160 eyes from 148 patients (mean age 44 years, range 17–74 years). The most common aetiologies were optic atrophy due to various causes, optic neuritis, ischaemic optic neuropathy, and compressive optic neuropathy. Overall, we found good agreement between VRP and SAP for bitemporal (93.8%), hemianopic (90.8%), altitudinal (79.4%), and generalised visual field defects (86.4%). The agreement was acceptable for central/centrocaecal scotomas and not acceptable for enlarged blind spots. Between the two examiners there was good agreement for bitemporal (92.3%), hemianopic (82%), altitudinal (83%), and generalised field defects (76.4%). The results of our study suggest that VRP gives overall good agreement with SAP in various neuro-ophthalmological conditions, especially those likely to produce hemianopic, altitudinal, and generalised visual field defects. This could be useful in various settings; however, future larger studies are needed to explore real-world utilisation.KEYWORDS: Agreementvirtual realityperimetrystandard automated perimetryneuro-ophthalmology AcknowledgmentsWe thank our optometry team members (namely Masuma, Fatima, Aleena Saji, Gowthami Neredimilli, Mounika Vadithya, and Saurav Ghosh, who helped us with enrolment of the patients, and collected the data), and our team at Centre for Technology Innovation, who helped with various technical aspects.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis study is supported by the intramural funding provided by Hyderabad Eye Research Foundation.","PeriodicalId":19257,"journal":{"name":"Neuro-Ophthalmology","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136116355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Failure to adequately identify the chief complaint as a visual symptom may lead to incorrect diagnosis or diagnostic delay. A previously healthy, 59-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of ‘losing her stuff’. Upon psychiatric and neuro-ophthalmological evaluation, this symptom was better recognised as a feature of visual agnosia and simultanagnosia. She also presented with multiple previously unrecognised symptoms indicative of higher visual processing dysfunction, such as alexia without agraphia, ocular motor apraxia, optic ataxia, prosopagnosia, akinetopsia and topographagnosia, so further assessment to investigate for PCA was carried out. After a work-up including cognitive assessment, brain structural/functional imaging, and laboratory tests she was diagnosed with visual-variant Alzheimer’s disease. Patients with PCA merit a detailed review of their symptoms, as well as the use of office tests such as cognitive evaluation tools, different types of perimetry, colour vision tests, and non-delayed psychiatric consultation for correct management and assessment.
