The process of vision involves light entering the eye and triggering chemical changes in the retina, a pigmented layer lining the back of the eye. Nerve impulses created by this process travel to the brain via the optic nerve. Using a hand-held instrument called an ophthalmoscope, the doctor can see the optic nerve head (optic disc) which is the part of the optic nerve that enters at the back of the eyeball. In optic atrophy, the disc is pale and has fewer blood vessels than normal. |
In primary optic atrophy (usually due to pathology distant from the nerve head), the disk is white or grayish with sharp edges. The lamina cribrosa is clearly visible in the physiologic cup, and the retina is usually normal. |
In secondary optic atrophy (usually due to pathology at the nerve head), the disk is dirty-white with irregular, indistinct margins and is covered by glial tissue that conceals the lamina cribrosa. |
There are many unrelated causes of optic atrophy. The most common cause is poor blood flow, called ischemic optic neuropathy, which most often affects the elderly. The optic nerve can also be damaged by shock, various toxic substances, radiation, and trauma. |
Various eye diseases, glaucoma most commonly, can also cause optic nerve atrophy. In addition, the condition can be caused by diseases of the brain and central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, and stroke.
|
There are also several rare forms of hereditary optic nerve atrophy that affect children and young adults. |
|
| SYNONYMS |
|
SYMPTOMS |
Symptoms of optic atrophy are a change in the optic disc and a decrease in visual function. This change in visual function can be a decrease in sharpness and clarity of vision (visual acuity) or decreases in side (peripheral) vision. Color vision and contrast sensitivity can also be affected. |
Optic nerve atrophy causes dimming of vision and reduction of the field of vision. The ability to see fine detail will also be lost. The pupil reaction to light will diminish and may eventually be completely lost. |
