| Description |
Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) causes profound loss of central vision and optic atrophy. A few reports exist of reversal of vision loss with idebenone or EPI-743 but almost invariably associated with optic atrophy. We report a young man presenting with central vision loss due to LHON. Vision and optic disc "pseudoedema" improved during treatment over a year without the development of optic atrophy. |
