What Are The Treatment Options for NAION?

Posted By Patient Letter to the Editor On August 2, 2011 @ 11:04 am In NeuroOphthalmology,Optic Nerve,Patient Questions | Comments Disabled

My brother-in-law has been diagnosed with NAION (Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy) in both eyes. The first eye problem resulting in NAION was 18 months ago. 2 weeks ago the unthinkable happened – the second eye is now involved.  My research leads me to believe there is no treatment for this condition.

Are there clinical trials currently being conducted for treatment of NAION. If so, where? 

Who is considered the authority for this condition? 

I would appreciate your help regarding guidance concerning treatment of NAION.
