Abstract

Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) is the most common type of ischemic optic neuropathy. It usually has classical clinical features which make it easy to diagnose.

For a complete bibliography and detailed review of previously published studies in the literature on the subject, please refer to bibliography in previous publications listed here.
