Background: A paradoxical discrepancy between severe peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) atrophy and good visual outcome had been reported in patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-immunoglobulin G (MOG-IgG)-associated optic neuritis (ON). However, only visual acuity (VA) was assessed. Objectives: To study visual field (VF) outcomes of patients with MOG-IgG-associated ON and evaluate the correlation between functional eye outcome and retinal structural changes assessed by optical coherence tomography. Methods: The records of 32 patients with MOG-IgG-associated ON who underwent ophthalmological examination at least 12 months after ON onset were reviewed. Degree of VF disability was determined by mean deviation (MD). Results: At final assessment (median, 35 months), 4.2% of 48 affected eyes (AE) had VA ⩽ 0.1, 40% had abnormal MD, and among AE with final VA ⩾ 1.0, 31% had mild to moderate damage. Thinning of the inner retinal layers was significantly correlated with MD impairment. Analysis demonstrated a threshold of pRNFL thickness (50 µm), below which MD was significantly worse (mean, −2.27 dB vs −17.72 dB; p = 0.0003). ON relapse was significantly associated with poor visual outcome assessed by MD. Conclusion: Functional impairment measured with VF is not rare, and MD assessment better reflects actual structural damage.
