Protocol summary

Summary
Objective: to compare effect of intravitreal and intravenous injection of erythropoeitin on visual function of patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy with control group Design: randomized, blinded, single center clinical trial Participants : inclusion criteria : patients with non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy with decreased vision, optic disc swelling, compatible visual field defects; normal ESR and CRP; lack of signs and sypmtoms suggesting giant cell arteritis(headache, jaw claudication); normal Na, Mg, K, liver function tests, Hgb; refered within 2 weeks after onset of decreased vision. Excluson criteria: high ESR and CRP; signs and sypmtoms suggesting giant cell arteritis; abnormal Na, Mg, K, liver function tests, Hgb; refered after 2 weeks of decreased vision; current smoking habbit Sample size : 150 patients ( 50 patients for each group) Conduct and interventions : patients will bw asignned randomly to 3 groups : group1 will be observed. Group 2 will have intravitreal injection of erythropoeitin; and group 3 will be undergone intravenous injection of erythropoeitin Main outcome measures : visual acuity; visual field; retinal nerve fiber layer thickness
