Question
I have difficulty seeing clearly and have been diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy at the hospital. I would like to know what symptoms it may have?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy mainly manifests as a decrease in vision and the optic disc appearing greyish or bluish-white. Normally, the color of the optic disc is influenced by various factors. Generally, the color of the optic disc fades from the temporal side to the nasal side, and the degree of fading on the temporal side is related to the size of the physiological cup.
