    Journal: Ann Ophthalmol; 1979 Oct; 11(10):1539-44. PubMed ID: 555847.
    Abstract:
    We examined the efficacy of the treatment with steroids, vasodilators, and vitamins B1, B6, and B12 in 23 cases of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy treated at the Athens University Eye Clinic. We stress the necessity of an extended medication for 2 to 3 months, depending upon the improvement of visual acuity. Good results were achieved in 14 of the 23 patients.
