Patient's question:
Is there a relationship between optic atrophy and chronic corneal keratitis of the optic nerve?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is a common disease in life, and the recurrence of optic atrophy brings great 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 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, etc. Optic atrophy has no direct relationship with chronic corneal neuritis of the optic nerve.
