ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
This study investigated the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (VIT) versus pars plana vitrectomy combined with radial optic neurotomy (RON) on recent onset non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).METHODS:
In this prospective interventional case series, individuals with recent-onset NAION, lower than one month and low vision (lower than 20/200) were recruited. Patients randomly underwent either VIT, or RON.RESULTS:
34 eyes of 34 patients were included in this study. 10, 9, and 15 eyes were randomly included in VIT, RON, and control groups, respectively. The BCVA of the VIT group improved significantly from 1.84 ± 0.5 logMAR at baseline to 1.29 ± 0.67, 0.93 ± 0.53, and 0.77 ± 0.47 logMAR at 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively (Ps < 0.05). The corresponding values for RON group were 1.73 ± 0.53 logMAR at baseline, which improved to 1.04 ± 0.65, 0.64 ± 0.28, and 0.61 ± 0.26 logMAR at the same follow-up visit times (P < 0.05).The corresponding values for the control group were 1.6 ± 0.58 log MAR at baseline, which improved to 1.03 ± 0.29, 1.00 ± 0.32, and 0.32 ± 0.83 log MAR at the same follow-up visit times. There was no significant statistical difference in BCVA between the three groups. However, both interventions resulted in statistically significant improvement in mean deviation (MD) of visual field (VF) compared with the control group at the end of 6 months (VIT P = 0.006, RON P = 0.043). RNFLT decreased from baseline 235.3 ± 44.01 to 75.6 ± 17.68 at 1 month in the VIT group (P < 0.001), from baseline 268.22 ± 65.9 to 76.67 ± 10.59 at 1 month in RON (P < 0.001), while it decreased from baseline 179.48 ± 39.02 to 112.92 ± 44.51 at 1 month in the control group.CONCLUSION:
VIT and RON showed promising results in terms of MD of VF, and optic disc edema resolved faster in these groups compared to the control group in recent onset NAION. A larger sample size study is deemed necessary to generalize the results of this study.
