[edit] Comment

It is not clear when "AION" is used, whether it is referring to non-arteritic AION or AION in general. The current layout of the topic, where it constantly switches back and forth between NAION and AAION does not help with this. Perhaps changing the layout to first discuss AAION completely and then NAION completely would make this more clear. This would be helpful to people who search for this page, since it is likely that they are looking for information on one type of AION and not the other in many cases. Earlier revisions of this topic were closer to this arrangement; they could be built on to incorporate later changes added in the newer layout.

Feb 2, 2006 I have split the article into 2, placing AAION as a separate article. No information has been deleted, though there have been some rearrangements to increase clarity. Please review and comment on these changes. Though not a perfect solution, I believe this is an improvement from the last arrangement that alternated between AION and AAION throughout the article. -JK
