Question
Is there a relationship between optic nerve atrophy and chronic corneal keratitis?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy is a common disease in daily life that has a significant impact on patients’ lives. It typically refers to the degeneration and atrophy of nerve axons between the retina and the lateral geniculate body, resulting in symptoms such as decreased visual function and expanded visual field. The occurrence of optic nerve atrophy may be related to various inflammations, including optic neuritis, encephalitis, meningitis, sepsis, and brain abscess. However, there is no direct relationship between optic nerve atrophy and chronic corneal keratitis.
