On the one hand, the patient’s vision can be quite poor and the systemic implications of such a diagnosis can be quite significant; on the other hand, the teaching for some time has not been so definitive on what, if anything, we should do in the short-term. So what does the current evidence show? What is role for steroids? How urgent is an MRI? How essential is an accurate diagnosis? Neuro-ophthalmologist Dr. Andrew Lee joins the podcast.
