What the petition asks
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is an inherited form of vision loss. People with LHON decide to take idebenone to possibly help restore their vision but it costs some over £150 a month with no guarantee that it is the actual drug because of ordering tablets off the Internet to get it.
