Across 11 observational studies comprising 6 471 577 patients, the pooled incidence of ischaemic optic neuropathy after cardiac surgery was approximately 1.5 cases per 10 000 procedures. Coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and anaemia were associated with increased odds of ION, although these findings should be interpreted in the ...
