The objective of this non-interventional study is to examine whether use of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors (PDE5s), including use of sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil, triggers the onset of acute NAION.
Sites will identify patients who meet the entry criteria during the conduct of their normal practice. Patients meeting these criteria will be offered participation in the study after reading and completing an informed consent document.

Number of Days Exposed to PDE5i During 1-Day Case Window and 29 1-Day Control Windows Among Participants Adjudicated as Definite NAION Cases
Adjudication committee classified participants as Definite, Possible, or Non-NAION cases, or insufficient information available or unable to adjudicate. Case window: 1 day preceding symptom onset day; 29 control windows: 29 days preceding case window. A case or control window was considered exposed if: sildenafil/vardenafil was used on that day and/or previous day; tadalafil was used on that day and/or any of previous 4 days. In this analysis, each participant contributed exposure information for 1 case window and 29 control windows.
Time frame: 30-day period prior to onset of NAION symptoms
