[edit] Introductory sentence

The opening sentence states: Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) or Leber optic atrophy is a maternally inherited form of acute or subacute loss of central vision that may lead to degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axons... Degeneration leads to vision loss, not the other way around. Anyone agree that this should be changed? AED 06:30, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
