I am diabetic (Cat-2) and had Glucoma problem, which was diagonosed almost 2 years back. Right Eye 30 % & Left Eye 10%. The Optholomogist had prescribed eye drops (Lumigan 0.01%) one drop at bed time. Few days back, I noticed a sudden eyesight loss in my right eye at least 90 % and in left 40%. I immediately visited the Optholomogist and he further prescribed an other type of eye drops (Alphagan P 0.1%) to be used one drop in the morning & bed time, to normalize the eye pressure, which was very high. I have been informed that the damage already done to Optic Nerve is not cureable and it was due to a minor stroke. I have come to know that a medicine is available in Homeopathic, which can cure and that is (Phosphorus 1M) eye drops. I need it with necessary instructions and precautions.

What is Papilitis?
Optic nerve inflammation and edema (swelling) caused by intracranial pressure at the place where the nerve enters the eyeball
Can the optic nerve be operated on?
Yes, the optic nerve can be operated on to treat conditions such as tumors, inflammation, or to relieve pressure. However, it is a delicate procedure due to the critical function of the optic nerve in vision. Consulting with an experienced ophthalmologist or neurosurgeon is essential to determine the best course of action.
What part of vision is the optic nerve responsible for?
All of it
What cranial nerve deals with vision?
vestibulocochlear nerve
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.

How does damage to the optic nerve affect vision in the human eye?
Damage to the optic nerve can lead to vision problems because it is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. When the optic nerve is damaged, it can result in partial or complete loss of vision in the affected eye. This can manifest as blurry vision, blind spots, or even total blindness in severe cases.
The brain linked to the eyes by?
The brain is connected to the eyes by the optic nerve. This nerve carries visual information from the retina of the eye to the brain, where it is processed to create our sense of vision.
How does the optic nerve work?
The optic nerve is a group of nerve fibers that function to provide vision. The optical never works by transferring electrical impulses to the brain from a part of the eyes known as the retina.
What is the medical term meaning inflammation of the optic nerve?
Inflammation of the optic nerve is called Optic neuritis. Optic neuritis can be caused by several factors such as hereditary disorders, toxic exposure, metabolic disorders such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis. There is usually no visual evidence of optic neuritis. Pain upon eye movement is a clinical sign of such. Inflammation of the optic nerve is called Optic neuritis.

Cranial nerves that have some function in vision include the?
The cranial nerves that have some function in vision include the optic nerve (II), which is responsible for carrying visual information from the eye to the brain, and the oculomotor nerve (III), which controls the movement of the eye muscles.
