Visual function deficits in eyes with resolved endophthalmitis

Abstract To evaluate the changes in functional vision in patients with resolved endophthalmitis. This was a cross-sectional study. The study included 20 patients with resolved endophthalmitis and best-corrected visual acuity of 20/100 or better. Visual acuity (VA), contrast threshold (CT), red/green...

This was a cross-sectional study. The study included 20 patients with resolved endophthalmitis and best-corrected visual acuity of 20/100 or better. Visual acuity (VA), contrast threshold (CT), red/green (RG) and yellow/blue (YB) colour vision and 15 Hz flicker modulation threshold (FMT) were assessed using standard psychophysical techniques. The median age was 54 years. The median visual acuity was 0.27 (~ 20/40—Snellen Equivalent) ((interquartile range [IQR]), 0.30) logMAR). The median log contrast threshold (CT) was − 1.13 (IQR, 0.36) log units (normative value for age-matched CT: − 1.61 log units). The median red/green (RG) and yellow/blue (YB) thresholds were 11.52 (IQR, 26.19) and 9.45 (IQR, 16.20) CAD units respectively, which were at least 5 times higher than age-matched normative RG and YB thresholds. The median central cone- mediated FMT was 17.64% (IQR, 23.40%), which was much higher compared to age-matched FMT (5.48% [IQR, 3.47]). Linear regression revealed significant relationship between contrast thresholds and foveal thickness (y = 0.001x−1.47, R2 = 0.20, p = 0.048). Though endophthalmitis may resolve with a good visual acuity, deficits in visual functions like chromatic discrimination, cone-mediated flicker and contrast sensitivity persist.Amithavikram R.
