Autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA, Kjer-type) is a heterogeneous, non-inflammatory degeneration of retinal ganglion cells. The diagnosis of ADOA can be challenging owing to its insidious onset and large variability in phenotypic expression, both within and between individual pedigrees. The earliest literature reports relatively mild centrocaecal scatomas to white targets in ADOA, but extensive and dense peripheral field loss to coloured targets, especially blue, with Bjerrum perimetry. The phrase "inverted peripheral visual fields to coloured targets" has been used to describe this phenomenon.
