Lebers Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Lhon

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a rare genetic condition that affects the eyes. It causes sudden vision loss and can lead to blindness in one or both eyes. LHON is caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA, which affects the function of cells in the optic nerve that transmit visual information to the brain.
