Clinical profile and visual outcomes in ethambutol-induced toxic optic neuropathy
Higher age and higher doses of ethambutol were associated with an increased risk of vision loss and worse vision at presentation. Prolonged exposure to high-dose ethambutol, as in fixed drug dose combinations, leads to severe visual impairment which might be partially reversible.
