OPTIC NEUROPATHIES: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Research findings have indicated that ON is a medical illness characterized by damage to the ON, which can occur due to a range of different causes. Optic neuritis (ON) is distinguished by the degeneration or demise of nerve fibers, leading to distinctive manifestations. The diagnosis of ON could potentially be strengthened with additional examinations. The assessment of the visual field, whether through manual kinetic perimetry or automated static perimetry, plays a vital role in achieving an accurate diagnosis. The utilization of neuroimaging techniques to examine the brain and orbit plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of ON, encompassing both demyelinating and compressive subtypes. Therefore, our study aimed to conduct an evaluation and assessment of ON. 65 patients involved in the study. All patients received a comprehensive examination that included VA, IOP, ASE, PR,RAPF,PSE, GON,HOT and TON. In our study we found that, significant correlation between FD type in G and other diseases (p < 0.0001). This indicates that G had TV, A, DA, or different scotomas(S), which were much greater than other ON. G is the most common and preventable cause of V impairment and blindness. Thus, G awareness efforts should be prioritized alongside cataract evaluation. If necessary, perimetry is necessary for a more complete assessment.
