Patients with TON caused by acute methanol poisoning are common to have optic atrophy with either residual visual functions or complete blindness as well as microcysts formation, structural changes and destruction of the ellipsoid zone and outer segments of photoreceptors. In patient with methanol intoxication after use of ethanol, which is known to be an antidote, complete visual recovery was observed, although some microcystic changes and ganglion cells layer thinning were noted.
