Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing frequent blurred vision, often suddenly seeing double and being unable to see things clearly, sometimes even completely unable to see. I usually look downward, and I wear reading glasses. I'm worried it might be optic nerve atrophy. I would like to ask you, doctor, what are the symptoms of optic nerve atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neuroatrophy generally manifests as muscle weakness and a grayish-white appearance of the four discs. It can usually be detected through an ophthalmologic examination, where the papilla color may appear pale yellow or grayish-white, gradually becoming blurred, and the physiological disappears. Neuroatrophy can be classified as primary optic atrophy, secondary optic atrophy, or intracranial inflammation, all of which can lead to these conditions. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for various related and thorough examinations to determine if there are any other underlying diseases.
