NAION is a stroke of the optic nerve. It is acute ischemic disorder of the optic nerve head, which it runs, irreversible loss of vision. Loss of vision in NAION happens suddenly and without pain, usually in morning hours, after waking up.The existence of normal visual acuity does not exclude NAION. The other eye may be affected in a very wide time interval. Results of this stady indicate the importance of a detailed ophthalmologic examination of persons older population, as well as the importance of early intensive therapy during the first weeks of illness.
