What are the chances of blindness due to optic atrophy?

Optic nerve atrophy

is a retinal disease. Optic nerve atrophy is caused by retinal nerve damage, and retinal nerve cells cannot be regenerated after damage. Therefore, if the optic nerve atrophy is not actively treated, it will lead to different degrees of vision decline and visual field defects. As the disease progresses, it will lead to blindness. Generally, the probability of blindness due to optic nerve atrophy is more than 80%.

Patients can be treated with vasodilators, neurotrophic drugs and glucocorticoids as prescribed.
