Abstract Purpose:To review the medical records of patients who presented to the Chiba Municipal Aoba Hospital with ethambutol optic neuropathy(EBON) between March 2019 and March 2024.

Patients and Methods:The medical records of 14 patients with or without EBON who were prescribed EB for tuberculosis or Mycobacterium avium complex(MAC) at the Chiba Municipal Hospital between March 2019 and March 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical and ophthalmological findings of three patients who developed EBON were compared with those of the patients who did not. Statistical analyses were conducted.

Results:The average age in the EBON and no-EBON groups was 71.7±6.6 and 66.2±10.3, respectively. The total dose of EB in the EBON and no-EBON groups was 18.6±0.6 and 14.7±1.7 mg/kg, respectively. The thinning ratios of the retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL) thickness in the EBON and no-EBON groups were −0.52±0.16 and 0.01±0.1 μm/month, respectively. Recovery of visual acuity to 0.4 was observed in two of the three patients with EBON(time to recovery 13 and 39 months);one patient who exhibited no improvement in visual acuity died of MAC 37 months after discontinuing EB therapy.

Conclusions:EB overdose can lead to EBON and thinning of the RNFL. Cessation of EB therapy may help patients with MAC recover visual acuity.
