The usual treatment of a standardised Adie syndrome is to prescribe reading glasses to correct for impairment of the eye(s). [1] Pilocarpine drops may be administered as a treatment as well as a diagnostic measure. [1] Thoracic sympathectomy is the definitive treatment of diaphoresis, if the condition is not treatable by drug therapy. [1]
Proposed treatments include hyperbaric oxygen, [54] levodopa or carbidopa, [55] aspirin, [56] transvitreal optic neurotomy, [57] bevacizumab [58] [59] and vitrectomy. The Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial [ 60 ] [ 61 ] observed that while spontaneous visual function deterioration occurred in 12% of 125 control eyes, the condition ...

Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is the loss of structure and function of a portion of the optic nerve due to obstruction of blood flow to the nerve (i.e. ischemia).Ischemic forms of optic neuropathy are typically classified as either anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or posterior ischemic optic neuropathy according to the part of the optic nerve that is affected.
Horner's syndrome; Mechanical anisocoria: Occasionally previous trauma, eye surgery, or inflammation (uveitis, angle closure glaucoma) can lead to adhesions between the iris and the lens. Adie tonic pupil: Tonic pupil is usually an isolated benign entity, presenting in young women. It may be associated with loss of deep tendon reflex (Adie's ...
Arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (arteritic AION, A-AION or AAION) is vision loss that occurs in giant cell arteritis (also known as temporal arteritis).Temporal arteritis is an inflammatory disease of medium-sized blood vessels that happens especially with advancing age.
Ross' syndrome consists of Adie's syndrome (myotonic pupils and absent deep tendon reflexes) plus segmental anhidrosis (typically associated with compensatory hyperhidrosis). [ 1 ] It was characterized in 1958 [ 2 ] [ 3 ] by A.T. Ross. [ 4 ]
Central retinal artery occlusion: CRAO is characterized by painless, acute vision loss in one eye. [11]Central retinal vein occlusion: CRVO causes sudden, painless vision loss that can be mild to severe.
