| Description |
Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is characterized by sudden and painless loss of vision in the eye, with unilateral involvement in most cases. In 14% of the cases, the contralateral eye may be involved, probably due to an embolic source. A simultaneously bilateral NAOIN seems to be thrombotic in nature, probably with endothelial damage in a COVID 19 postive patient. We also discuss hyperbaric therapy for such a condition. |
