Optic Nerve Surgery

Optic nerve surgery involves procedures that aim to relieve pressure on or repair damage to the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain and is crucial for vision. This surgery may be performed to treat conditions such as tumors, trauma, or certain neurological disorders that affect vision. The goal is to preserve or restore vision and prevent further damage. The surgery can be complex, requiring specialized techniques, and recovery may vary depending on the underlying condition and extent of the surgery. As with any surgery, there are risks, and careful assessment is necessary beforehand.
