Acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) is a disabling disease which impairs visual functions. AION is characterized by ischemic injury of the optic nerve caused by hypoperfusion in the short posterior ciliary arteries supplying the optic nerve head. AION is a complex multi-factorial disease and is difficult to diagnose based on clinical symptoms and signs alone. We describe the case of a 54-year-old patient affected by AION, with only known risk factors were PAI-1 4G/5G and Factor V Leiden mutation with hyperlipidaemia (Ref. 36).

    All contact lenses showed an increase - more negative - in lens power with distance from the lens center. The amount of change varied depending on the lens. It was about 10% of lens power for DAILIES TOTAL1 (-0.29diopters (D)), SofLens daily disposable (-0.36D), and Proclear 1-Day (-0.32D) whereas 1...

    In patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or ischemic stroke, the combination of focal and nonfocal symptoms has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that nonfocal symptoms are more frequent in patients with symptomatic stenosis of a vertebral artery...
