A good friend of mine has been diagnosed with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). It is a potentially debilitating condition that occurs from a lack of sufficient blood flow to the optic nerve. She started experiencing some blindness in one eye, now she’s experiencing some blindness in both eyes. She’s in her early 60s.
The docs don’t seem to know much about what causes it or how to reverse it (if that’s even possible).
Pinging the list: Does anyone know about this conditionm NAION? A freeper posted the below and if anyone has any information would appreciate it:
