Optic Neuropathy

Optic neuropathy is a condition affecting the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. It can result from various causes, such as inflammation, poor blood flow, or damage due to injury or diseases like diabetes. Symptoms often include vision loss, blurred vision, or changes in color perception. As the optic nerve plays a critical role in vision, any disruption can significantly impact sight. Diagnosing the specific type and cause of optic neuropathy is essential for appropriate treatment and management, which may involve medication, surgery, or monitoring.
