³Yeditepe Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi, Göz Hast. A.D., İstanbul, Prof. Dr. The microperimetry and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings of a case with hemi-central retinal artery occlusion are described. A 49-year-old woman presented with blurred vision and visual field defect in the inferior field of the right eye for the last 5 days. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/32 at the initial visit. Mean sensitivity detected by microperimetry was 10.7 dB in the central 20º and mean macular thickness detected by OCT was 267 μm. At 3rd month’s visit, BCVA increased to 20/20 in the right eye. Mean sensitivity increased to 11.5 dB and mean macular thickness decreased to 174 μm. The areas of scotoma temporal to the fovea and at the fovea showed progress during the serial microperimetric evaluations. Microperimetry may be useful for the detection of improvement in retinal function and may provide supplementary information to anatomical progress detected by OCT during the recovery of hemi-central retinal artery occlusion.
