No.

While prolonged use of a computer is associated with eye strain, the irritation normally occurs as a result of muscle fatigue (tiring of the small orbital muscles which articulate the eye, and the ciliary muscles which govern focus by altering the shape of the eye's lens). Unlike when viewing television or a cinema screen, use of a computer entails proximity to the visual device, and the need to focus intently upon parts of it (in order to read, for instance). Just like reading a book, long periods of intent staring can tire the eyes. While using a computer, we also tend to blink less often which can lead to dehydration and irritation of the eye's surface; blinking serves the function of cleaning and moistening.

The eye itself may be irritated, but the optic nerve is not physically influenced by this.

What does an optic nerve look like?

The optic nerve is not visible to the naked eye as it is located inside the eye socket. Its appearance can be visualized using specialized medical imaging techniques such as ophthalmoscopy or fundus photography. The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that connect the eye to the brain, and it has a cylindrical shape with a whitish-pink color.

What internal observations do ophthalmologists make?

Ophthalmologists observe the internal structures of the eye such as the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels using specialized instruments like ophthalmoscopes and slit lamps. They assess the health of these structures to diagnose conditions such as retinal detachment, macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Additionally, ophthalmologists may also assess the clarity of the eye's natural lens and evaluate the anterior chamber for signs of inflammation or infection.

What are symptoms of optic atrophy?

Optic Atrophy occurs when the optic nerve gets damaged due to shrinkage by the degeneration of the retinal ganglion cell axons and stops carrying impulses from your eye to your brain. One of the most common reasons for the Atrophy (deuteriation) occurs due to poor blood flow and is more common in adults. Optic Atrophy causes multiple vision problems, eventually leading to the patient being blind. What are the causes of Optic Atrophy? Impulses are sent to the brain from the eye through the optic nerve which comprises of nerve fibres. Optic Atrophy occurs when these impulses aren’t able to be sent to the brain due to factors and interferences. These factors include: Poor Blood Flow Glaucoma Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy, otherwise known as a stroke in the Optic Nerve Pressure on the Optic Nerve that is caused by a tumour The Optic Nerve may get swollen due to inflammation caused by Multiple Sclerosis A birth defect Family History What are the symptoms of Optic Atrophy and when should I see a doctor? Symptoms of Optic Atrophy may seem mild in the beginning but it is imperative to visit your doctor at the earliest for any kind of vision problem. Symptoms of Optic Atrophy include: Blurry Vision or reduction in the sharpness of vision Problems identifying colour Problems with Side Vision or Peripheral Vision All vision related issues must be dealt with as soon as symptoms start to appear as they may be a part of bigger health problems. How does my doctor diagnose Optic Atrophy? Optic Atrophy is diagnosed by an ophthalmologist using an op ophthalmoscope. The doctor will examine the optic disc, which is at the back of the eye where the optic nerve enters the eye. If the doctor suspects a tumour, you may be asked to get an MRI Scan. Can Optic Atrophy be treated? Although Modern Medicine does not have a cure for Optic Atrophy, the cure depends on that the cause of the problem is. For instance, if the cause of the Optic Atrophy is an inflammation due to MS or a Tumour, vision might return to normal when the inflammation reduces. For patients with Glaucoma, if Glaucoma is caught early, optic Atrophy can be treated to grow slower which is why it is important to visit your doctor as soon as problems in vision arise.
