'''Ischemic optic neuropathy''' (ION) is the loss of structure and function of a portion of the [[optic nerve]] due to obstruction of blood flow to the nerve (i.e. [[ischemia]]). ION is typically classified as either [[anterior ischemic optic neuropathy]] or [[posterior ischemic optic neuropathy]] according to the part of the optic nerve that is affected.
