What are Optic Nerve Related Disorders?

The optic nerve is a critical part of the visual system, transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. Disorders affecting the optic nerve can lead to partial or complete vision loss, depending on the severity and underlying cause. Common optic nerve disorders include optic neuritis, glaucoma, optic neuropathy, and papilledema. At Shreem Hospital, we specialize in diagnosing and managing these complex conditions to preserve and improve your vision.

Our team of expert ophthalmologists employs advanced diagnostic tools, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and visual field testing, to assess optic nerve health. With personalized treatment plans, including medication, lifestyle modifications, or surgical interventions, Shreem Hospital is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with optic nerve disorders.

Symptoms of Optic Nerve Disorders

The symptoms of optic nerve-related disorders vary but may include:

  • Sudden or gradual vision loss in one or both eyes.
  • Pain or discomfort, especially during eye movement (commonly seen in optic neuritis).
  • Blurred, dim, or distorted vision.
  • Loss of peripheral vision or "tunnel vision."
  • Changes in color perception or difficulty distinguishing colors.
  • Swelling around the optic nerve head, visible during an eye exam.

Causes of Optic Nerve Disorders

The underlying causes of optic nerve disorders include:

  • Inflammation: Conditions like optic neuritis, often linked to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
  • Increased Eye Pressure: Glaucoma damages the optic nerve over time due to elevated intraocular pressure.
  • Trauma or Injury: Direct injury to the eye or head can impact the optic nerve.
  • Ischemia: Reduced blood flow to the optic nerve, known as ischemic optic neuropathy, commonly affects older adults.
  • Infections: Viral or bacterial infections can lead to optic nerve damage.
  • Tumors: Brain or orbital tumors may compress the optic nerve, leading to vision problems.
