Question
I’ve had myopia since high school, and it has gradually developed into high myopia after starting work. I use the computer for long periods every day and also need to work overtime at night. Recently, I’ve been experiencing blurred vision, and even wearing glasses doesn’t help me see clearly. It often comes with dizziness, and I’m worried it might develop into optic nerve atrophy.
Answer
Hello, the causes of optic nerve atrophy are complex and not necessarily triggered by a specific factor. Commonly seen ischemic optic neuropathy, which occurs when the blood supply to the optic nerve is reduced or interrupted due to underlying diseases, leading to atrophy under conditions of ischemia and hypoxia. The causes of optic nerve atrophy include compressive, ischemic, and inflammatory optic neuropathy.
