Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) encompasses a spectrum of rare autoimmune diseases, including cancer-associated retinopathy and nonparaneoplastic-associated retinopathy, which primarily affect retinal photoreceptor function, and melanoma-associated retinopathy (MAR), which primarily affects bipolar cell function. Clinical features include panretinal degeneration with no or little pigment deposition, progressive visual field deficits, and photopsias with or without a history of carcinoma or melanoma at the time of ocular presentation.
