Description Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) associated with optic disc drusen (ODD) is termed ODD-AION, where NA-AION with no evidence of ODD is simply termed NA-AION. Patients with ODD-AION have been found to be younger than those with NA-AION but with similar vascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to examine ODD as an independent risk factor for AION by comparing the prevalence of risk factors and comorbidities in ODD-AION and NA-AION patients.
