NCT05305079

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to use new diagnostic methods (OCT and OCT-A) to shed light on risk factors for the development of NA-AION. The risk factors we are focusing on are comorbidities along with anatomical and vascular characteristics of the optic nerve.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Anatomical characteristics on OCT

    Presence of ODD. Diameter of the scleral canal, disc area and rim on each quadrant of the optic disc, thickness of the peripapillary choroid, presence of peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures, and prelaminar hyperreflective lines.

    At enrollment

  • Anatomical characteristics on OCT

    Presence of ODD. Diameter of the scleral canal, disc area and rim on each quadrant of the optic disc, thickness of the peripapillary choroid, presence of peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures, and prelaminar hyperreflective lines.

    3-months follow-up visit

  • Vascular characteristics on OCT-A

    Transient versus persistent findings of ischemia, segmental location and extent of reduced vessel density. If ODD is present the vessel density will be compared to ODD location and volume.

    3-months follow-up visit

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • ODD characteristics

    At 3-months follow-up visit

  • Best corrected visual acuity

    At enrollment

  • Best corrected visual acuity

    3-months follow-up visit

  • Visual field test

    At enrollment

  • Visual field test

    3-months follow-up visit

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (5)

  • Eye refraction in diopters

    At enrollment

  • Color vision test score as fraction

    At enrollment

  • Color vision test score as fraction

    3-months follow-up visit

  • +2 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

ODD-AION

NA-AION patients with ODD aka. Optic disc drusen associated non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

nODD-AION

NA-AION patients without ODD aka Non-optic disc drusen associated non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study population is patients diagnosed with NA-AION in a 1.5-year inclusion period.

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of first episode of NA-AION in study eye with symptom onset within 1 month prior
  • Subject age: Age \>10
  • NA-AION diagnosis requires:
  • disc edema seen by site PI or by referring doctor
  • visual field defect in the study eye consistent with NA-AION and mean deviation worse than 3.0 dB using the study visual field examination protocol

You may not qualify if:

  • Previous episode of NA-AION in the study eye only
  • Intraocular pressure of \>21 mm Hg in the study eye
  • Clinical or pathological evidence of giant cell arteritis
