Treatment is highly bespoke and factors influencing treatment response and failure remain unclear. We assessed 25 adults with suspected Pulfrich phenomenon due to a range of conditions in two tertiary referral centres. Monocularly tinted spectacles were successful in reducing symptoms of the Pulfrich phenomenon under daylight conditions in nine subjects, eight of whom had optic neuritis. These spectacles were not effective at night and in patients with visual field defects due to ischaemic optic neuropathy, glaucoma, optic disc drusen or severe peripapillary retinal nerve fibre loss on optical coherence tomography. date: 2018-04-25 date_type: published official_url: https://doi.org/10.1080/01658107.2018.1446537 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1556485 doi: 10.1080/01658107.2018.1446537 lyricists_name: Crossland, Michael lyricists_name: Petzold, Axel lyricists_id: MCROS91 lyricists_id: APETZ95 actors_name: Stacey, Thomas actors_id: TSSTA20 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Neuro-Ophthalmology volume: 42 number: 6 pagerange: 349-355 issn: 1744-506X citation: Farr, J; McGarva, E; Nij Bijvank, J; van Vliet, H; Jellema, HM; Crossland, MD; Petzold, A; (2018) The Pulfrich phenomenon: Practical implications of the assessment of cases and effectiveness of treatment.
