A neuro-ophthalmological examination, including fluorescein angiography, has been made of 100 male viscose rayon workers occupationally exposed to carbon disulfide (CS2), and 97 control males (paper-mill workers). Corrected visual acuity, visual field, eye motility, pupillary reactions and biomicroscopy, were found to be normal in all the eyes examined. Fluorescein angiography revealed the filling of retinal vasculature before choroid in 76% of the exposed subjects, and in 70% of the controls. Delayed peripapillary filling, either circumferential or segmental, or both, occurred in 68 exposed and 38 nonexposed; the difference was highly significant (p
