Acute and Bilateral Blindness Due to Optic Neuropathy Associated with Copper Deficiency
Arch Neurol 66:1025-1027, Naismith,R.T.,et al, 2009
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Copper deficiency should be considered in cases of atypical optic neuropathy. Serum copper levels should be monitored in patients with a compatible neurologic syndrome who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. Although visual acuity did not improve after copper infusion in our patient, prompt recognition of copper deficiency may prevent further deterioration.
