About
Ayyaz Quddus is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on neuro-ophthalmology and advanced neuroimaging, particularly the application of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to diagnose rare causes of visual loss. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the utility of DW-MRI for confirming posterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (PION), a challenging diagnosis often missed due to its subtle clinical presentation. His most cited paper, a case series and literature review from 2015, has garnered 23 citations and remains a key reference for clinicians navigating this rare condition. Quddus’s work bridges the gap between radiology and ophthalmology, providing a practical, evidence-based framework for identifying optic nerve infarction in patients with sudden vision loss, especially those with risk factors like prolonged surgery or giant cell arteritis. By highlighting the diagnostic power of DW-MRI, he has helped reduce misdiagnosis and improve patient outcomes. His research is particularly valuable for trainees and specialists in neuro-ophthalmology, neuroradiology, and stroke medicine, offering a clear, reproducible approach to a notoriously elusive condition.
