- Long-term safety profile of Raxone® in the treatment of patients with LHON when used under conditions of routine clinical care. [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]Safety will be assessed by the collection and analysis of adverse events of special interest (AESIs), frequency and nature of AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs), adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs)
- Long-term effectiveness of Raxone® in the treatment of patients with LHON when used under conditions of routine clinical care [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]According to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) a patient's vision should be continually monitored therefore effectiveness will be assessed by measuring on-therapy changes in patients' visual acuity (VA), visual fields (VF), colour contrast sensitivity and Retinal Nerve Fibre Layer thickness (RNFL) where available.
