Should steroids be offered to patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy? Editorial Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The treatment of nonarteritic anterior optic neuropathy remains very limited and disappointing. Recent publications have suggested that oral steroids as well as intravitreal injections of steroids might be helpful to accelerate resolution of disc edema and improve visual outcome. However, the use of steroids to treat acute NAION remains largely debated.
