Abstract
To assess the possible correlation of anti-retinal antibody titers and number of anti-retinal antibodies with outcome measurements including visual acuity, subjective vision loss, visual field, and electroretinography in patients with autoimmune retinopathy. Single-center, retrospective cross-sectional study. Patients with autoimmune retinopathy who underwent anti-retinal antibody testing at least twice during their follow-up were enrolled. Anti-retinal antibody titers and numbers were grouped as improved, stable, or worsened. Outcomes included Snellen visual acuity, patient-reported vision loss, Humphrey visual field mean deviations, and electroretinography parameters. Thirty-one eyes among 16 patients with autoimmune retinopathy were included. Between-group analyses of visual acuity, subjective vision loss, visual field, and electroretinography outcomes did not reveal any significant differences by anti-retinal antibody titer or number group at a 95% confidence interval. Changes in anti-retinal antibody titers or numbers were not associated with any vision outcome. Repeated anti-retinal antibody testing may be unnecessary after diagnosis of autoimmune retinopathy and detection of an anti-retinal antibody.
