1. Why do I have anterior ischemic optic neuropathy? Generally, it’s not something you or anyone else did that you shouldn’t have done to get this disease. The optic disc anatomy is born that way. High blood pressure or smoking may increase the risk of the disease; in a few cases, excessive bleeding or a sudden drop in blood pressure may also play a role. In fact, based on all the current knowledge, doctors are still uncertain about the exact cause that triggers the disease. 2. Will I lose my vision? Within days or weeks of the onset of the disease, there may be further loss of vision, but fortunately, this is not common. Quitting smoking and making sure your blood pressure is normal rather than overly controlled can reduce your risk. If your vision is still declining after a few weeks, see a doctor immediately for an examination. 3. Will my vision get better? About 40% of patients with central vision loss have a chance to improve their central vision, but the visual field will remain as it is now, so it is likely that some of the visual field deficit will remain when you look up or down or when you look at an area. 4. Can I make my vision better by eating any foods or other things? So far, it is not known how treatment can exactly improve vision. However, proper dietary control can be done for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol. 5. How can I stop the other eye from developing? Taking aspirin daily may reduce the chance of developing the disease. Quitting smoking and proper treatment of high blood pressure may help.
