Can You Get NAION From Cialis?
February 24, 2011
My husband took ONE cialis pill and within 24 hours was losing vision in his only good eye (other eye attacked by histoplasmosis as a child). He was disagnosed with non-arteric ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and had a very involved laser surgery many days after it happend. After the surgery one full quarter of his eye will still not undilate, he had to quit his lifelong career, can’t be outside or have outdoor light coming in the house, etc. This has been devistating and life altering to him. Is there anything that can be done?

there is some controversy about whether cialis/viagra can cause naion. most experts feel they are not related- patients who take cialis often have the exact same risk factors for naion- high blood pressure, diabtetes and other chronic diseases. there have been some studies which demonstrate that indeed, cialis/viagra are not to blame. lastly, some optic nerves are susceptible to naion regardless of any medical problems or cialis/viagra.
anyway, unfortunately, there is no treatment for naion. i dont know what laser was done, as there is no laser treatment for naion.
