What Is Optic Atrophy? The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that carry images from your retina to your brain. Each fiber carries a part of the visual information to the brain. If these nerve fibers become damaged, the brain doesn't receive all of this vision information and sight becomes blurred. Optic atrophy means the loss of some or most of the nerve fibers in the optic nerve. The effects range from visual change to severe visual loss.
The greater pallor in the left eye indicates optic atrophy. Optic atrophy, manifesting as optic disc pallor, rarely exists in isolation. As such, it is imperative to look for associated optic nerve dysfunction to separate the mimicking conditions from true optic atrophy. Associations that would indicate true optic atrophy include visual field loss, visual acuity reduction, dyschromatopsia, relative afferent pupil defect (when unilateral or asymmetric) and retinal nerve fiber layer damage.
