What is Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON)?
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a rare, inherited form of vision loss that primarily affects the optic nerve. It is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, making it a mitochondrial disease. While it can manifest at any age, it often presents in young adults, including pediatric patients.
