Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how often and severely patients experienced additional vision loss after being diagnosed with acute nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) within ten weeks.
- Researchers reviewed electronic medical records from an academic neuro-ophthalmology practice, focusing on patients diagnosed with NAION between February 2014 and December 2023 who sought follow-up care within a ten-week timeframe.
- Results indicated that a significant number of patients (41%) experienced clinically significant deterioration in visual function, with a notable percentage showing serious declines in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and peripheral visual fields (VF) during the acute phase of NAION.
