Description Endogenous flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) imaging is an emerging functional assessment of optic neuropathies and retinopathies. An increase in FPF indicates oxidative stress in vivo due to increased blue light absorption and green light emission that reflect accumulation of oxidized flavoprotein. Mitochondrial stress is a key pathogenic mechanism for multiple optic neuropathies, including non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), the most common acute optic neuropathy in adults over 50 years of age. In this study, we performed FPF imaging in patients with unilateral and bilateral NAION and investigated whether metabolic stress correlates with severity of disease.
