Optic Nerve Atrophy Stabilized

Optic nerve atrophy (AZN) is called a disorder of the central part of the optical analyzer. Its most characteristic manifestation is gradually progressive “problems” in the formation of a visual image and the ability to see the surrounding reality, a decrease in visual acuity in one eye or another, up to blindness. This ophthalmological problem leads to difficulty or impossibility of determining the position of the body in space, orienting oneself in the environment and space.

The underdevelopment of the ability to see, dysfunction of visual function in many patients is usually accompanied by blurred perception, unclear orientation, inadequate assessment of what is happening around, and decreased perception of color and shape. All these pathological changes are formed with the development of irreversible disorders in the neurological structures of the visual apparatus. A similar quality is also characteristic of the later stages of azn

A delay in the development of the disease can manifest itself for a long time, and sometimes patients, throughout the entire course of the diagnosed disease, do not experience significant discomfort due to the gradual worsening of symptoms associated with this nosology. In most cases, the development of a severe form of the pathological condition is asymptomatic and without loss of the ability to function, i.e. work, study, play sports, etc. The causes of the unstable form of the disease: hypoxia of the optic nerve, trauma, metabolic disorders or inflammatory reactions, compression of the nerve as a result of a hernia, stress and excessive stress.

**Optic Nerve Atrophy** (AZN), or optic neuropathy, is damage to the optic nerve (optic nerve axon). The disease is based on the destruction of the axons of the retinal neurons of the eyeball, which converge at the posterior border of the eyeball and form the optic nerve.
