Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a maternally inherited mitochondrial disease. It is clinically recognizable by painless, bilateral loss of vision, and the prognosis of vision is generally poor. In recent years, the information provided by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) has greatly improved people's understanding of LHON, and new progress has been made in the intervention and treatment of LHON. A detailed understanding of the structural changes of retina and choroid under OCT and OCTA of the natural course and after treatment of LHON, may provide reference for revealing the pathogenesis, prediction of onset time, differential diagnosis, follow-up of treatment effect and prognosis of LHON.
