Brief Summary:
Patients diagnosed with NAION within 14 days of onset were included. Patients were randomized into 3 groups. Group 1 or control consisted of 30 patients who received gelatinous capsules filled with sugar as placebo. Group 2 or steroid consisted of 30 patients received methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol, Pharmacia Pharmaceutical Company, Belgium) 500 mg twice a day for 3 days followed by 2 weeks of oral prednisolone 1mg/kg/day. Thirty patients in group 3 or oxygen received 100% normobaric oxygen with face mask in sitting position, at a flow rate of 5 liters per minute for 1 hour twice a day for two weeks Functional and structural outcomes were assessed at 1 and 6 months following treatment.
