Patient's question:
Is there a relationship between optic atrophy and chronic corneal opacity of the optic nerve?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is a common disease in life, and the recurrence of optic atrophy has a significant impact on the patient's life. Optic atrophy is generally caused by the degeneration and expansion of ganglion cell axons between the retina and the lateral geniculate body. Due to the degeneration and expansion of nerve fibers, patients often experience a decline in visual function and an enlargement of the visual field. The first symptom of optic atrophy is inflammation, including optic neuritis, encephalitis, meningitis, encephalitis, sepsis, brain abscess, and so on. Optic atrophy has no direct relationship with chronic corneal inflammation of the optic nerve.
