1Ophthalmologist. Ophthalmology Department of Sultanbeyli Dunyagoz Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey2Assistant Prof. MD., Ophthalmology Department of Hisar Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey DOI : 10.37845/ret.vit.2020.29.16 Here we present the two cases of non-arteritic ischemic optik neuropathy that demonstrated subretinal fluid on optical coherence tomography. First case was diagnosed as central serous chorioretinopathy in the outer center and treated with oral acetazolamide during 1 week; because of less fluid, she was followed with topical nepafanac in our clinic. As another case had symptoms during three days and signifi cant subretinal fluid, he was treated with oral steroid therapy. Following the week, both of them had visual improvement and subretinal fluid resolution. Their fluorescein angiogram did not show accumulation of dye in the macular region, indicating the fl uid did not arise from the retinal vessels or directly from the choroid; early dye leakage and late staining of the optic disc were present. According to age, ischemic optic neuropathy is a differential diagnosis of maculer edema and can affect the therapy options. Keywords : Optic neuropathy, Subretinal fl uid, Steroid therapy
