| Description |
Lebers hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) has classically been viewed as a non-treatable disease. However, recently there have been several publications, including case reports, retrospective and prospective studies, which document visual improvement with the use of Idebenone. We report a case of Lebers heredity optic neuropathy treated with Idebenone that showed significant visual recovery. |
