Optic Nerve Atrophy
Overview & Our Approach to Optic Nerve Atrophy
Restoring and Preserving Optic Nerve Function: We employ a combination of cutting-edge therapies, including neuroprotective strategies, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle modifications, to support optic nerve health and slow the progression of atrophy.
- Telehealth & In-Office Treatments: Providing personalized, intensive care through telehealth consultations and in-office treatments at our New Jersey office for optimal results.
- At-Home Care with ACS3000: We provide the ACS3000 system for at-home care, which helps support optic nerve health and promotes recovery by enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation, complementing in-office treatments.
- Targeted Supplements: Our specialized supplements are formulated to address the specific needs of patients with optic nerve atrophy. These supplements provide essential nutrients that support mitochondrial function, reduce oxidative stress, and protect against further nerve damage.
Symptoms & Causes of Optic Nerve Atrophy
Symptoms & Causes of Optic Nerve Atrophy
- Visual Field Loss: Patients may experience blind spots or a loss of peripheral vision, making it difficult to see objects to the side while looking straight ahead.
- Reduced Visual Acuity: The ability to see fine details may diminish, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
- Pale Optic Disc: During an eye examination, the optic nerve may appear pale, indicating atrophy.
- Color Vision Deficiency: Difficulty distinguishing between different colors, particularly red and green, is a common symptom.
Causes of Optic Nerve Atrophy
- Ischemic Optic Neuropathy: This condition is caused by insufficient blood flow to the optic nerve, often due to blockages in the blood vessels. It is sometimes referred to as a “stroke” of the optic nerve and can lead to sudden vision loss.
- Optic Neuritis: Inflammation of the optic nerve, often associated with autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis, can result in optic nerve damage.
- Compressive Optic Neuropathy: Tumors, cysts, or other lesions can compress the optic nerve, leading to atrophy over time.
- Infiltrative Optic Neuropathy: This occurs when tumors or inflammatory processes invade the optic nerve or the surrounding area.
- Traumatic Optic Neuropathy: Direct or indirect injury to the optic nerve, such as from head trauma, can cause significant nerve damage.
- Mitochondrial Optic Neuropathy: This type of optic neuropathy results from mitochondrial dysfunction, often due to genetic mutations that impair cellular energy production.
- Nutritional Optic Neuropathy: Severe deficiencies in essential nutrients, such as B vitamins, can lead to optic nerve damage.
- Toxic Optic Neuropathy: Exposure to certain toxins, poisons, or medications can damage the optic nerve.
- Hereditary Optic Neuropathy: Genetic mutations, such as those seen in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), can cause progressive vision loss due to optic nerve degeneration.
- Optic Nerve Atrophy Type 1: This hereditary form of optic nerve atrophy typically begins in childhood or adolescence, with a gradual loss of vision that progresses slowly over time.
