Why is my optic nerve shrunken causing blurred vision?

Blur vision due to shrunken optic nerve

1 Answer
Dr. Sumeet Agrawal

Ophthalmologist/ Eye Surgeon

Answered on 8th June '24

If your optic nerve becomes smaller, it may lead to unclear eyesight. This happens when the nerve is injured or squeezed. You might have difficulty seeing things sharply or lose your peripheral vision. It is necessary to determine the reason behind this atrophy. It is important to consult a neurologist or an ophthalmologist as soon as possible to diagnose and treat the underlying cause.

My eye I woke up and and try looking at my light bulbs and I saw something like rainbow color’s around it and also my eye ball is red since morning

Male | 16

You are experiencing an ailment called eye strain. Nowadays, it is common for people to experience problems with their eyesight. When your eyes are overworked they might be showing kaleidoscope colors or red. This is possible when the eyes are staring at light bulbs for too long. To help, rest your eyes by looking away from screens and lights. Eye drops or glasses may also be useful.

I have redness in my right eye and headache as well .i checked the bp it was 80/132. Kindly guide.what is the reason behind it.and what sort of bp us it,normal,or high

Female | 37

Redness in your right eye, along with a headache, can result from various factors such as eye strain, allergies, or mild infections. Your blood pressure reading of 80/132 indicates slightly elevated diastolic pressure, which is generally considered acceptable, though this can vary depending on individual health. It’s essential to rest your eyes, stay hydrated, and apply a cool compress if needed. For persistent symptoms or discomfort, please consult a healthcare professional for a personalized evaluation. They can provide more detailed insights and treatment options tailored to your situation.

can you take mdma after having lasik eye surgery

Female | 20

Using MDMA after LASIK is risky because it can cause high eye pressure, blurred vision, and light sensitivity, which are all hazardous for your healing post-operative eyes. Therefore it is critical to shield them during this time and abstain from substances like ecstasy that might hurt them.

i am 23 year old and my eye turned red yesterday and it is itching too

Male | 23

Pink eye­, also known as conjunctivitis, may be causing your eye issue­. Redness and itchiness are­ symptoms of this condition. A viral or bacterial infection likely trigge­rs it. Applying cool compresses to your eye­ can provide relief. Avoid touching or rubbing the­ affected area. Ove­r-the-counter eye­ drops may also help alleviate discomfort. Fre­quent handwashing is crucial to prevent spre­ading the infection to others.

My maid is having cataract her doctor told her that it is on the verge of rupture..she is unable to pay for the operation. Is it possible to get her operated without much charges?

Female | 40

The reason behind may have been the presence of clouded vision, night time blackout, and light sensitivity. In a person's life, cataracts appear when the eye gets a cloudy lens due to age or specific health issues. To have the problem rectified, the maid should be fully followed up with a health care provider, it would serve as an interference to have avoidable ruptures or another form of complication. Significant discounts or financial aid programs are also available for those in need of medical services in many clinics or hospitals. It is a good idea for her to reach out to the local health facilities and the help of charity groups.

Hello i am 14 years old and i constantly see lightning in the corner of my eye?? im super stressed and i overreact easily

Male | 14

Seeing flashes of light or "lightning" in your peripheral vision can sometimes be a symptom of an eye related issue. However, stress and anxiety can also cause visual disturbances, including perceived flashes of light. Meantime it may be helpful to practice stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness or meditation. If this also doesn't help then visit an eye specialist to get it checked.

I'm a 23 year old female. I am overweight. I'm starting to have vision issues. Is this possibility weight related?

Female | 23

Being overweight can sometimes result in vision problems, particularly if it causes a condition known as diabetic retinopathy. The symptoms may include seeing floaters, blurriness, or having trouble seeing at night. Shedding pounds and stabilizing blood sugar levels can assist in rectifying such vision problems.
