Abstract
Optical coherence tomography can diagnose optic disc edema and monitor RNFL loss over time. It is most useful at onset and 6 months after NAION, when RNFL loss has reached a plateau and is correlated with visual function. Future studies that aim to determine if a drug or intervention is useful for treating NAION may include OCT assessment of the RNFL thickness, because it provides an objective outcome measure correlated with visual performance.
