| Description |
Radiation optic neuropathy (XRT-ON) is a well-described complication of radiation treatment, characterized by severe visual loss owing to ischemia. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been reported as a potential treatment, but remains controversial because most treated patients demonstrate progression of vision loss after treatment is stopped. |
