Question
Can optic nerve atrophy cause eye swelling?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy typically leads to eye swelling. It’s essential to first determine the cause of the atrophy, as this is the first step. Once optic nerve atrophy occurs, it is often difficult to fully recover, but the function of the remaining nerve fibers can be maintained as much as possible. Therefore, you must maintain confidence and patience in your treatment. However, medication treatment may not always be completely effective, so you must also be mentally prepared for that.
