Conservative management and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. Monitor symptoms.

lifestyle
2

Visual Evoked Potential Protocol Optimization

Repeat VEP testing with standardized protocols and multiple check sizes to better characterize the timing abnormality and distinguish peripheral from central visual pathway dysfunction.

procedure
3

Neurological Follow-up Schedule

Establishment of regular neurological monitoring with repeat VEP testing every 6-12 months to track any progression suggesting demyelinating disease or optic neuropathy.

monitoring

Additional treatment options

Neuroprotective Agent Consideration

Consideration of neuroprotective medications such as citicoline or alpha-lipoic acid under specialist guidance to support optic nerve function and potentially improve VEP timing.

medication

Smoking Cessation and Vascular Health Optimization

Smoking cessation and cardiovascular risk factor management to optimize blood flow to the optic nerve and visual pathways, supporting normal conduction timing.

lifestyle

Coenzyme Q10 Neural Support

CoQ10 supplementation at 100-200mg daily may support mitochondrial function in optic nerve tissue and improve neural conduction parameters.
