Sumario:A 31-year-old male presented with central scotoma of 9 months duration in the right eye and a similar complaint in the left eye, since a week. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/60 in the right eye and 20/30 in the left eye. Clinical features and supportive investigations were consistent with the diagnosis of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR). The patient was treated with systemic steroids. At 3-month follow-up visit, BCVA improved to 20/40 in the right eye and remained at 20/30 in the left eye. Humphrey’s visual field showed a slight reduction of scotoma in both eyes.
