Symptoms of Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
Loss of vision is usually rapid (over minutes, hours, or rarely days) but is painless. Depending on the cause, vision may be impaired in one or both eyes. Vision in the involved eye or eyes can range from almost normal to complete blindness. People with Giant Cell Arteritis tend to be older, and their loss of vision tends to be more severe. They may have jaw pain when they chew, headaches, muscle aches and pains, and scalp pain when they comb their hair.
