Abstract
Visual recovery is uncommon in patients who lose vision from GCA. Recovery in visual acuity is not associated with visual field or color vision improvement in this series. Visual deterioration occurs in approximately 27% of eyes despite high-dose IV methylprednisolone. The greatest risk of visual deterioration is in the first 6 days.
