We have examined 2 groups of patients with unilateral and bilateral ischemic neuroopticopathy. The duration of the patients’ follow-up is 10 years.It has been established that hypermetropic anisometropia is observed in case of unilateral ischemic neuroopticopathy, whereas with the bilateral one – hypermetropic isometropia. It has been suggested to regard the presence of identical refraction on the paired eyes to be a marker of the bilateral ischemic process in the optic nerves in case of unilateral neuroopticopathy.
