There is a high prevalence of systemic vascular risk factors and small cup-to-disc ratio in NAION patients referred to our center across different age groups (below and above 50 years). Patients below the age of 50 years with NAION are more likely to have a final visual acuity of 20/40 or better than NAION patients above the age of 50 years.
