This is part one in a pair of articles about AION. Part two is written for physicians
PLEASE NOTE:
- The first part of this article is intended primarily for patients and lay people, and the second part (on a separate web page) is intended for ophthalmologists. The article is a summary of material published in peer-reviewed ophthalmic journals. For more detailed information, please refer to the papers in the bibliography and the various articles cited in those papers.
- Dr. Hayreh does not give an opinion without personally examining a patient; he feels that to do so is unethical and also potentially dangerous.
