Optic Nerve Diseases
Optic nerve disorders are a set of diseases that disrupt the normal function of the eye. The optic nerve is located at the back of the eye and is responsible for carrying messages to/from the brain where visual information is decoded.
When this nerve is damaged due to disease, such as glaucoma, age or sports-related trauma, the nerve’s ability to function becomes compromised. Those with multiple sclerosis and pseudotumor cerebri often suffer optic nerve damage as a result of their illness.
