Inflammation and atrophy of the optic nerve

Inflammation of various segments of the optic nerve occurs most often in the course of infectious, rheumatic, neurological diseases (multiple sclerosis), in diabetes, in poisoning.

The onset is usually sudden - there is a very large weakness of visual acuity, scars in the field of vision, sometimes pain in the eye socket during eye movements.

Treatment
The disease requires quick treatment, preferably a hospital one, because it can cause atrophy of the optic nerve and irreversible weakness or complete loss of vision.
