OBJECTIVE To determine if patients with nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) have sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), an entity characterized by repetitive upper airway obstructions during sleep, inducing hypoxia and sleep disruption. METHODS We recruited 17 patients with NAION and 17 age- and sex-matched controls from patients referred for treatment because of suspected restless legs syndr...

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is the most prevalent optic nerve disorder among patients over 50 years of age, characterized by sudden onset, painless visual loss, with an accompanying relative afferent pupillary defect and optic disc edema. Although the pathophysiology of NAION has not been fully elucidated, several risk factors have been considered, including advanced...
