| Description |
Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is a relatively common optic neuropathy in older aged adults above the age of 50. This disease can also present in patients of younger age, although much less common. The vast majority of these younger patients have associated risk factors for NAION, including hypertension and diabetes. Here, we present a case in which a previously healthy 41-year-old woman developed bilateral sequential NAION induced by methamphetamine abuse. |
