Abstract
The left eye of a 65-year-old male was blind due to optic atrophy and only seeing eye had also dry type age-related macular degeneration.
An anterior ischemic optic neuropathy developed in the better seeing eye. Vision recovered in the blind eye in a short time after
losing the better eye. Gaining some vision in a blind eye may be an adaptation of visual pathway in such patients.
