  3. Corrected Visual acuity equal or worse than 6/60 or visual field of less than 15 degrees or both.
  4. Field of view with a reduction from 10 degrees to one quarter situations functions.
  5. Participant understands the nature of the procedure and provides written informed consent prior to any study procedure.
  6. Women of child bearing potential must use adequate birth-control precautions.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Mean Increase From Baseline in ETDRS Letters Read at 26 Weeks and Off-drug Follow-up Visit
Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) was assessed at all the visits, with refraction as necessary. VA measurements were taken in a sitting position at a test distance of 4 meters using early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) charts.
Changes in Visual Field Observed Following the Treatment
Visual field mean deviation (MD) changes from the screening at week 26 using with the HVF 24-2 FASTPAC program using the size III or Size V test stimulus
Changes Mean RNFL Thickness in NAION Eyes Change From Screening to Week 26
TMean RNFL thickness measured by OCT. The data are in microns, as measured with an Opko OCT machine.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Adverse Events Assessed by Vital Signs, Clinical Laboratory and Physical Exam
Safety and tolerability multiple ascending SC doses as assessed by adverse events, vital signs, clinical laboratory and physical exam
