| Description |
LHON is the most common primary mitochondrial DNA disorder. In the subacute stage, fundus examination typically reveals hyperaemic optic discs, telangiectactic microangiopathy, swelling of the retinal nerve fiber layer and tortuosity of the central retinal vessels. The purpose of the study was to describe and quantify retinal vascular geometry (RVG) and tortuosity in different stages of the disease. |
