Those disorders can cause atrophy of the optic nerve in the eye

Optic nerve atrophy is a serious disease, so it is important to understand what causes optic nerve atrophy. In clinical conclusion, it is concluded that the common causes of optic nerve atrophy include intracranial hypertension, various types of retinopathy, optic neuropathy, tumors around the ophthalmic nerve, metabolic diseases, etc. Optic nerve atrophy refers to the degeneration and death of optic nerve cells, and once the optic nerve cells have this pathological change, they cannot regenerate, so if it is not timely, it may cause irreversible problems such as vision damage and blindness.

So, under what circumstances can optic nerve atrophy occur? It is concluded that the main causes of optic nerve atrophy are as follows: (1) Intracranial hypertension

Optic nerve atrophy is a complication caused by intracranial pressure, if intracranial high pressure occurs, it will lead to edema and fluid accumulation in leptomeninges, middle meninges and other tissues, and at the same time it will compress the optic nerve, which can cause optic nerve atrophy for a long time, so it is found that many patients with high intracranial pressure are accompanied by optic nerve atrophy. (2) Retinopathy. Retinopathy is an important factor causing optic nerve atrophy, and there are many types of retinopathy, such as choroidal inflammation, which will lead to blockage of retinal arteries or veins, and will cause optic nerve atrophy after a few months.

Other retinopathies that can cause optic nerve atrophy include anterior optic segment ischemia and retinitis pigmentosa. (3) Optic neuropathy. If the optic nerve undergoes pathological changes such as ischemia, inflammation, and hemorrhage, atrophy of varying degrees will occur.

Secondly, optic nerve contusions, avulsions, and atrophic lesions will also occur. (4) Tumors. If glial cell tumors occur in the tissues around the optic nerve, it is easy to cause optic nerve atrophy, and it is also a neoplastic disease that can cause optic nerve atrophy that can occur in both adults and children.

5) Metabolic diseases. Common metabolic diseases that cause optic nerve atrophy include diabetes and hypertension, especially in some patients, whose condition is not well controlled, which is easy to cause small blood vessel sclerosis, resulting in the optic nerve supply blood vessels being affected, thus causing optic nerve atrophy. In addition to the above causes of optic nerve atrophy, pathological changes such as atrophy may occur if nutritional diseases such as abnormal lipid metabolism occur, and optic nerve trauma is not timed**.

It can be seen that there are many causes of optic nerve atrophy around us, so it is necessary to take a comprehensive approach to prevent this disease in daily life.

Excessive eye use, inflammation, and malnutrition are all causes of the impact.

Ophthalmic diseases have always been a disease that seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients, and optic nerve atrophy is one of them, once this disease occurs, it will not only cause visual field changes and vision loss and other symptoms, but also lead to blindness in severe cases. So what are the causes of optic nerve atrophy?

Optic nerve atrophy can occur for the following reasons

1. Retinopathy, no matter whether the patient's retina is vascular, inflammatory or suffering from glaucoma, if it is not carried out in time, once the disease gradually worsens, it will cause certain damage to the optic nerve, and in severe cases, it will lead to optic nerve atrophy.

2. Optic neuritis and optic neuropathy, which mainly include vascular, optic nerve demyelination disease, vitamin deficiency, severe syphilitis and other diseases, if the patient is not able to carry out it in time after suffering from these diseases, with the gradual aggravation of the disease, it will eventually have a certain impact on the optic nerve, and in severe cases, it will also induce optic nerve atrophy.

3. Compression, if the patient has suffered from intracranial, intraorbital tumors or hemangiomas before, especially with pituitary tumors, the compression of the optic chiasm is relatively serious, and once the compression is serious, it will also lead to the symptoms of optic nerve atrophy.

4. Trauma, no matter what the cause of the patient's optic nerve damage, such as optic nerve contusion or avulsion, will cause optic nerve atrophy.

Optic nerve atrophy** is a manifestation of many clinical diseases that progress to the later stages, including retinopathy, optic neuropathy, compressive lesions, intracranial diseases, traumatic lesions, metabolic diseases, nutritional factors, hereditary diseases, etc. Patients with these primary disorders are at risk of optic nerve atrophy.

1. Retinopathy: including vascular lesions (such as retinal ** arterial vein occlusion), inflammatory lesions (such as retinal choroiditis), etc.

2. Optic neuropathy: including vascular lesions (such as ischemic optic neuropathy), toxic lesions, glaucoma lesions, etc.

3. Compressive lesions: including intraorbital tumors and hemorrhage.

4. Intracranial diseases: increased intracranial pressure or intracranial inflammation cause optic nerve chiasm and optic tract lesions, such as advanced optic disc edema, tuberculous meningitis and intracranial tumors.

5. Traumatic lesions: cranial or orbital trauma can lead to optic nerve atrophy.

6. Metabolic diseases: such as diabetic eye disease can lead to optic nerve atrophy.

7. Nutritional factors: vitamin B deficiency can lead to the occurrence of optic nerve atrophy.

8. Hereditary diseases: Some patients are related to genetic factors, such as Leber disease, which is a common form of hereditary optic nerve atrophy.

Optic nerve atrophy is characterized by significant vision loss, which can lead to complete blindness. The visual field is constricted concentrally, and its narrowing progresses with vision loss. The pupillary response also varies from sluggish to completely absent depending on the severity of optic nerve atrophy.

Primary optic nerve atrophy may include pale optic disc with well-defined margins, clearly visible cribriform plates, and tapering of retinal vessels in advanced stages. In secondary atrophy, the optic disc is grayish-white, stained white or waxy yellow, with blurred edges, retinal arteries are thinned, and blood vessels near the optic disc are often accompanied by white lines.

Normally, optic nerve atrophy is almost impossible, but it is entirely possible for its remaining nerve fibers to restore or maintain their function. So give the patient confidence and stick to it. There are mainly neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B1, B12, ATP and coenzyme A, vasodilators and blood-activating and stasis drugs, such as niacin, dibazole, vitamin E, vitamin E, vitamin brainway, compound salvia, etc.

In recent years, methods such as hyperbaric oxygen and extracorporeal counterpulsation injection of 654-2 have achieved certain results.

There are many causes of optic nerve atrophy: brain tumors, increased intracranial pressure, increased intraocular pressure, glaucoma, fundus retinal vein blockage, retinitis, optic neuritis, fundus retinal artery blockage, drug poisoning, uveitis, surgery, trauma, metabolic diseases, nutritional deficiencies. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver and kidney are deficient in yin.

Good kidney yang deficiency, liver stagnation and qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, spleen and stomach weakness, qi and blood deficiency, hyperactivity of liver yang, yin deficiency and fire, meridian blockage, damp heat fumigation, injury to the eyes, turbidity and dampness, phlegm and dampness and so on can all cause optic nerve atrophy.

Neuroatrophy** may be caused to varying degrees by a variety of factors, including genetics, inflammation, ischemia, trauma, poisoning, intracranial or intraorbital tumor compression, glaucoma, congenital factors, nutritional disorders, and demyelinating diseases. In addition, some systemic diseases such as central nervous system demyelination diseases, immune system diseases and metabolic syndrome may affect and damage the optic nerve, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, which can cause optic nerve atrophy.

Optic nerve atrophy(optic atrophy) refers to any disease that causes retinal ganglion cells and their axonal lesions, resulting in a morphological change in the optic nerve that is completely thinner, generally occurring in the axonal degeneration of ganglion cells between the retina and the lateral geniculate body. **It is mostly caused by infection, malnutrition, trauma, drug poisoning, intracranial tumors, and other diseases that are secondary to the imbalance of the viscera and meridians, and the disharmony of qi and bloodPrimarywithSecondaryTwo categories.

Optic nerve atrophy can lead to vision loss and, in severe cases, blindness.

Optic nerve atrophy may cause symptoms such as blindness, so it is recommended to go to a hospital for consultation.

Optic nerve atrophy is very harmful to the eyes and requires prompt medical attention.

It is nerve atrophy, which is harmful to vision, if it is serious, it will be blind, if there is optic nerve atrophy, you should continue to pay attention to exercising eye muscles, massage, health care, etc. to delay atrophy.

First of all, optic neuroatrophy is mainly manifested by vision loss, and the eyes appear grayish or pale. Because of the influence of visual factors, under normal circumstances, this problem is more obvious, the atrophy is originally very good, and the vision will become worse and worse in the later stage, and it can be gradually improved in the early stage, and it will be difficult to ** in the later stage.

Although it is the same condition, but everyone's situation is different, so the dosage of the drug is also different, you can go to Shijiazhuang Shengxiang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine to find a doctor to see it, the doctor will order the drug according to your situation.
