AIM: To investigate the effect of cardiovascular risk factors on the occurrence of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy(NAION)and visual functions of the patients.METHODS: Sixty-eight patients diagnosed as initial ipsilateral NAION(68 eyes)in NAION group and another 68 patients(68 eyes)matched in age, gender and systemic diseases in Control group were selected from June 2014 to June 2016 were enrolled in this study and evaluated for their levels of homocysteine(Hcy), blood lipids, folic acid and vitamin B12, as well as carotid Doppler ultrasonography. The visual functions were also examined in patients with NAION.RESULTS: The levels of Hcy(24.8±13.9μmol/L), total plasma cholesterol(4.5±1.0mmol/L), triglyceride(2.0±0.9 mmol/L)and low-density lipoprotein(2.9±0.8mmol/L)in NAION patients were significantly higher(PPCONCLUSION: Hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperlipidemia and low vitamin B12 are the risk factors of in NAION patients. These risk factors, however, are not related to the extent of visual field damage. To some extent, the amplitude and peak latency of visual evoked potentials can reflect the extent of visual field damage. |
