Not again!
A 58-year-old white man presented with a second episode of vision loss in the same eye. Diagnostic evaluations conducted at each episode were unrevealing for an underlying etiology, and a presumptive diagnosis of recurrent non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) was made. The evaluation of recurrent NAION is discussed.
