Optic Nerve Atrophy

Optic nerve atrophy means that the optic nerve is limited in its capacity to transmit accurate information about what the eye sees. The optic nerve carries images of what we see coded as electrical impulses, from the retina to our brain.

When the ophthamologist looks in your eye she can see that the pale optic nerve is visibly atrophied and looks pale. It has partially or seriously wasted away resulting in partial or serious loss or change in vision.

The symptoms described here may not necessarily mean that you have optic nerve atrophy. However, if you experience one or more of these symptoms, contact your eye doctor for a complete exam.

• Blurred vision
• Decrease in visual function such as a decrease in sharpness and clarity of vision (visual acuity) or decreases in side (peripheral) vision. Color vision and contrast sensitivity can also be affected.
• Poor constriction of the pupil in light
• Decreased brightness in one eye relative to the other
• Change in the optic disc

Causes

Most commonly, optic nerve atrophy occurs without a known or proven cause.

Causes leading to optic atrophy range from eye injury or trauma to systemic eye conditions and diseases. These include:

• Optic neuritis occurs when the optic nerve is inflammed. The person might notice eye pain which is more severe when they move their eye. It mostly found in young to middle-aged women. Some people with this condition may develop multiple sclerosis later on in life.
• Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy is a hereditary eye disease mostly occurring in late teens to early 20s young men. It is characterized by development over a few weeks of painless, serious, central visual loss in one eye, followed months or weeks later by the same process in the other eye. In the beginning there might be slight swelling, but eventually the optic nerve atrophied resulting in, usually, permanent vision loss.
• Toxic optic neuropathy. Optic atrophy can result from nutritional deficiencies, some medications, and toxins which damage the optic nerve causing gradual or sudden vision loss. The most common optic neuropathy from poisons and toxins is called as tobacco-alcohol amblyopia, thought to be caused by exposure to cyanide from tobacco smoking, and by low vitamin B12. Other toxins include methyl alcohol (moonshine), ethylene glycol (antifreeze), cyanide, lead, and carbon monoxide.
• Nutritional optic neuropathy may be caused by protein, B vitamins, vitamin B12, in particular, and folic acid deficiencies which result from poor nutrition, starvation, poor absorption or alcoholism. Vitamin B12 deficiency damages the nerves, and drinking alcohol contributes to poor absorption of vitamin B12.
• Glaucoma Untreated, the increased pressure characteristic of glaucoma may eventually affect the optic nerve.
• Compressive optic neuropathy results from a tumor or other lesion pressing on the optic nerve or from eye movement muscle enlargement which is seen in hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease) patients.
• Retinitis pigmentosa is a hereditary ocular disorder resulting in degeneration of the retina.
• Syphilis, untreated, can also result in damage to the optic nerve.

HERBAL TREATMENTS

ISOTINE EYE DROP

Isotine – Ayurvedic eye drops

Aysotin-Isotine – Ayurvedic eye drops

FIRST IN THE WORLD CATARACT TREATED! Almost all of the incurable eye disease

and eye cancer can be treated by Ayurvedic eye drops Aysotin (ISOTINE)

Cataract is a worldwide problem that affects a person’s vision. 4 million people in India alone suffer from blindness due to cataract. Diseases of the retina, also made their contribution to the sad development to this problem.

eye drops is the result of several years of work Dr.Basu with the Institute. The structure consists of drops of Ayurvedic herbs and salt. After many trials, they were registered and patented by the Government of India. Over the past 25 years, thousands of patients with immature cataracts and other eye diseases such as myopia, hyperopia, diabetic retinopathy, color blindness, macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, and others have been cured without surgery. Many of these diseases are known to have been incurable.

Many patients who have been denied treatment known oftalmologicheskmi centers as the Center of the retina in Rome (Italy), AIIMS New Delhi, an eye clinic in Sitapure, Aligarh, Moscow, Lucknow, etc., were successfully treated by these eye diseases. Improved vision has stabilized and no side effects.

Aysotin drops, also, were very effective in improving vision in cases of postoperative cataract and after laser treatment. Points in many patients remained without sight.

The cost of

Cataract surgery is too high compared to the cost of a course of eye drops Aysotin. Numerous awards and prestigious awards were honored Dr.Basu and his colleagues for his research to prevent blindness worldwide.

According to the National Center for Treatment of Cancer (India), Apollo Hospitals (Department of accidents), Green Road, Chennai, Institute of Chemistry and Microbiology, University Dean of New Delhi eyedrops Aysotin very good account of themselves in cancer patients, as well as in complicated cases of cataract glaucoma, early strabismus, optic nerve atrophy, proptosis, a decline of view due to excessive stress at work with monitors, as well as antibiotics / steroids, solar retinitis, electric welding, large doses of alcohol,

Drops are ISO 9001:2000, certified by the WTO and have patents.

AND

Ginkgo Biloba

Ginkgo biloba is an extract from the leaves of the ginkgo tree. This extract has a long history of use in aiding memory and other cognitive functions. Ginkgo may also help improve blood flow, which could have some effect on improving blood flow to the optic nerve in people with glaucoma. The University of Maryland Medical Center reports that a small study conducted on people with glaucoma showed that after eight weeks of taking 120 mg of ginkgo each day, the glaucoma patients showed some improvement in vision. Researchers have not conducted further testing to determine the validity of this small study. If you wish to try ginkgo, you should talk with your doctor about the potential risks before starting a treatment regimen
