Optic Atrophy
Optic atrophy is a pathological term for damage or shrinkage of the optic nerve brought on by the degeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. The optic nerve is responsible for transmitting signals from your eye to your brain.
Description:
Optic atrophy is a condition resulting from long-term damage to optic nerve fibers, leading to vision issues like blindness. The optic nerve is made of over one million nerve fibers that transmit light signals from the retina to the brain.
Cause:
Optic atrophy is caused by various factors, including poor blood flow, shock, toxins, radiation, eye diseases like glaucoma, optic nerve inflammation, tumors, congenital optic neuropathies, extrinsic compression, intransic optic nerve tumors, vascular disease, inflammatory disease, infection, toxic and nutritional optic neuropathies, trauma, and retinal disease.
Symptoms:
Loss of vision can vary in nature and severity. Color vision, side vision, and central vision can all be affected by damage to the optic nerve. When the optic nerve's capacity to transmit signals to the brain is compromised, a person might experience the following symptoms: lack of peripheral (side) vision, blurry vision, changed perception of color,and a reduction in vision in the afflicted eye. Nystagmus, or uncontrollably moving eyes from side to side, is one possible symptom in children.
