  16. Conclusion The disease usually has a self-limited course with good visual recovery. Approximately 90% of patients have better than 20/30 final visual acuity. There is a return of normal funduscopic appearance, although macular changes may persist. Because of its self-limited course, no treatment for MEWDS currently is indicated.
