Abstract
A 45-year-old man was referred to the Basir Eye Clinic in Tehran, Iran, for a visual evoked potential (VEP) assessment due to complaints of blurred vision in his left eye. His condition remained untreated because of his corticosteroid phobia, despite medical recommendations. VEP results revealed a delay of VEP P100 peak in both eyes, indicating optic nerve involvement, a finding observed in some patients with this condition.
