| Description |
Non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a common neuroophthalmic disorder. A second episode of NAION in the fellow eye occurs in 15-35% of patients. Doppler OCT studies have demonstrated a reduction in blood flow in the anterior lamina circulation in patients with NAION. Pentoxifylline is a medication with a long history of use in peripheral vascular disease and has been shown to have a rheological benefit from increased red blood cell compliance. We sought to determine if pentoxifylline improved central retinal artery derived blood flow by Doppler OCT in patients with NAION. |
