| Description |
The primary risk factor for NAION appears to be a small, crowded optic disc. Asymptomatic disc swelling in patients with this disc appearance has been observed and called 'impending NAION' but progression to full-blown disease has not been described. We present 3 cases of documented asymptomatic disc swelling with progression to NAION and permanent vision loss. |
