Oral steroids for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy did not significantly improve visual acuity

Oral steroids did not significantly improve visual acuity in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, but they did improve resolution of disc edema and visual evoked responses.
