Question
What is optic nerve atrophy surgery treatment? I had good vision before the car accident. I don’t have myopia or any other eye diseases. But since I accidentally hit a friend’s left eye with my elbow during a qualifying race, my left eye’s vision has been deteriorating. I want to see a doctor for treatment. How is surgery treated for long-term optic nerve atrophy?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy is not a name for a disease but refers to any disease caused by the sudden damage to retinal ganglion cells and their axons, resulting in the entire optic nerve becoming thin. A common pathological term is the sudden axonal swelling between the retina and the lateral geniculate nucleus. The ultimate result of inflammation is the degeneration of optic nerve fibers and the loss of conduction function. For primary and secondary optic nerve atrophy caused by inflammation, visual field changes, vision loss, and decreased vision are generally categorized as primary and secondary acupuncture.
