title: [Anterior ischemia of the optic nerve and anemic retinopathy].
abstract: We report on the case of a 59-year-old man with the association of an anterior ischemic optic neuropathy on the left eye and a bilateral anemic retinopathy following an extreme and prolonged post-operative anemia, because the patient had refused blood-transfusion. After one year of follow-up, the visual acuity did improve on the left eye. This association is rare, and only few cases have been reported.
