Background and purpose: Until now, carbon ion RT (CIRT) dose constraints for the optic nerve (ON) have only been validated and reported in the NIRS RBE-weighted dose (D-NIRS). The aim of this work is to improve CNAO's RBE-weighted dose (D-LEM) constraints by analyzing institutional toxicity data and by relating it to D-NIRS.Material and methods: A total of 65 ONs from 38 patients treated with CIRT to the head and neck region in the period 2013-14 were analyzed. The absorbed dose (D-Abs) of the treatment plans was reproduced and subsequently both D-LEM and D-NIRS were applied, thus relating CNAO clinical toxicity to D-NIRS.Results: Median FU was 47 (26-67) months. Visual acuity was preserved for the 56 ONs in which the old constraints were respected. Three ONs developed visual decline at D-LEM vertical bar 1% >= 71 Gy(RBE)/D-LEM vertical bar 20% >= 68 Gy (RBE), corresponding to D-NIRS vertical bar 1% >= 68 Gy(RBE)/D-NIRS vertical bar 20% >= 62 Gy(RBE). Dose recalculation revealed that NIRS constraints of D-NIRS vertical bar 1%
