What Is Optic Atrophy? The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry images from your retina to your brain. Each fiber carries a part of the visual information to the brain. If these nerve fibers become damaged, the brain doesn't receive all of this vision information and sight becomes blurred. Optic atrophy means the loss of some or most of the nerve fibers in the optic nerve. The effects range from visual change to severe visual loss.
Optic neuritis is a demyelinating inflammation of the optic nerve. It is also known as optic papillitis and retrobulbar neuritis. It is most often associated with multiple sclerosis, and it may lead to complete or partial loss of vision in one or both eyes. Partial, transient vision loss can be an indication of early onset multiple sclerosis. Other possible diagnoses include: diabetes mellitus, low phosphorus levels, or hyperkalaemia.
