Optic Nerve Injury

Optic nerve injury involves damage to the nerve that transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. This can result from trauma, tumors, or medical conditions affecting blood flow or nerve health. Symptoms may include sudden vision loss, blurred vision, or visual field defects. The severity and recovery depend on the injury's extent and cause. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent further vision loss. In some cases, damage may be permanent, but early intervention can improve outcomes and protect remaining vision.
