Creator Fazzone, Hilary E; Kupersmith, Mark J
Subject NAION; neuroprotection; brimonidine
Description Topical brimonidine tartrate has been reported to have a neuroprotective benefit for retinal ganglion cells following experimental elevation of intraocular pressure and optic nerve injury in the rat. These results were the basis of the recently aborted clinical trial of brimonidine purite for acute non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in humans.
