Well now it's your time, I guess. Sorry, I'm a little late. Please understand that I am not paid but donate my time. The 5-year risk of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy in the fellow eye has been described as 25% in one study, 17% in a second study, and 15% in a third study. The risk is higher in men and diabetics. You can search for aion and risk factors. The University of Iowa is a center of excellence in this field.
