We report a case of a late bilateral sequential ischemic optic neuropathy after 36 weeks of pegylated-interferon therapy. In contrast to previous reports, we recommend a regular ophthalmological follow-up throughout the whole course of interferon therapy., UL https://www.qscience.com/content/journals/10.5339/qmj.2012.1.20
