Learn about this condition, its impact, and our breakthrough treatment approach
Begin AssessmentOptic nerve atrophy (ONA) is the deterioration of the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. This condition is characterized by the death of the retinal ganglion cell axons that comprise the optic nerve, leading to a reduction in the thickness of the nerve fibers.
Optic nerve atrophy is not a disease itself but rather a sign of an underlying pathological process affecting the visual pathway. It can be caused by various conditions and can lead to partial or complete vision loss depending on its severity.
Diagnosis of optic nerve atrophy typically includes a comprehensive eye examination with special attention to the appearance of the optic disc. Additional tests may include:
Conventional treatment for optic nerve atrophy depends on the underlying cause. In many cases, the damage to the optic nerve cannot be reversed, and treatment focuses on:
Most conventional treatments cannot restore vision that has been lost due to optic nerve damage, and there is currently no widely recognized cure for optic nerve atrophy.
Our approach to optic nerve atrophy focuses on comprehensive assessment, personalized treatment plans, and innovative therapies aimed at nerve regeneration and neuroprotection. Our protocol combines oral supplements, specialized diet recommendations, and therapies designed to improve blood circulation to the optic nerve.
While conventional medicine often considers optic nerve damage irreversible, our research and clinical experience suggest that some vision improvement may be possible through our holistic treatment approach.
