Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) is the most common clinical presentation of acute ischemic damage to the optic nerve. In this case report, we are presenting a patient with bilateral sequential NAION who had a history of blood clothing disorders and found to have NAION in the second eye immediately after use of Sildenafil for erectile dysfunction.
