What Researchers Did
Researchers treated two patients suffering from non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy with hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 2 atmospheres absolute.
What They Found
Both patients experienced marked improvements in visual acuity and visual field. These improvements were observed 3-5 months after the onset of the condition.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection.
Study Limitations
A major limitation of this study is its small sample size of only two patients, meaning the observed improvements could be coincidental.
