Visual Outcome of Mega-dose IV Corticosteroids in NAION

Conclusion

In summary, our data, with the major limitations stated above, does not suggest the superiority of IV steroid treatment over no treatment. As intravitreal corticosteroid treatment for NAION is still anecdotal, any steroid protocol for NAION patients should be used judicially. In our center, based on our experience, we chose to abandon the use of IV corticosteroids for NAION patients until a randomized control trial will prove the benefit of such treatment.
