Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze microvascularization in patients with non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) using OCT-angiography at different stages of the condition.
- It involved a comparison of NAION patients in both acute and resolved stages with control groups matched for various health factors, highlighting significant decreases in peripapillary density and microvascular perfusion in affected eyes.
- The findings suggest that while there is decreased microvascular density in NAION eyes, there are increased vascular characteristics in the optic nerves of both eyes, indicating a unique response in these patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how blood pressure (BP) changes throughout the day and night in patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
- 65 patients with acute NAION underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), using different definitions for nighttime periods to classify their BP patterns.
- Results showed a high prevalence of extreme dippers (23%) during the strictest nighttime definition, and many patients (39%) without known hypertension were found to have elevated BP, indicating that ABPM is important for assessing BP in NAION patients.
We report the case of an 85-year-old patient who developed trifascicular block with syncope, triggered by preoperative eye drops for cataract surgery. This life-threatening situation reopens the debate over the necessity of having an anesthesiologist present during cataract surgery.

The objective of our study was to evaluate the effects of memantine and gabapentin treatments on visual function. We also sought to correlate visual outcomes with ocular motor measures and to describe the side effects of our treatments.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: The pathophysiology of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is not completely understood. Studies of the retinal vasculature phenotype in patients with NAION could help us to understand vascular abnormalities associated with the disease.
Design: Retrospective case series with matched control subjects.
