Abstract

The optic nerve is a white matter tract conveying visual information to central visual pathways. It is susceptible to a wide variety of pathological processes, all conforming to standard mechanisms of disease. Optic neuropathies are frequently encountered in clinical practice. Recognition of impaired optic nerve functions allows for more precise localization and diagnosis.
