Two days after the procedure, the patient complained of peripheral visual field defect in her both eyes which persisted until her last presentation. Her best-corrected visual acuity, color vision, intraocular pressures, and anterior segment examination findings were normal bilaterally. Fundus examination showed a normal optic nerve head with reduction of arteriole to vein ratio in both eyes. Humphrey Field Analyzer revealed a bilateral concentric visual field defect. Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) and Electroretinography (ERG) were within normal limits in both eyes. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal.Discussion: Herein, we presented a case of permanent concentric visual field defect which developed as a complication of severe uncontrolled pre-eclampsia.
