Abstract

The illness known as otic atrophy damages the eye. It causes anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, also known as gloaucoma, and strokes of the optic nerve. A change in vision, notably blurred vision, problems with peripheral (side) vision, problems with colour vision, and a loss of vision sharpness, are indications of optic atrophy. The final stage of a disease process that affects the retinogeniculate section of the visual pathway is called optic atrophy, and it is identified by the non-specific symptom of optic disc pallor. As a result, rather than acting like a real peripheral nerve, the optic nerve, with its 1.2 million fibres, functions more like a white matter tract. Pial capillaries that supply the optic nerve head experience degeneration, which contributes to the pallor of the optic disc seen in optic atrophy.
