Optic Neuritis
Optic Neuritis is because of an inflammation of the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. This swelling causes decreased vision.
It is characterized by inflammation affecting the optic nerve. This disrupts the seamless connection between the eyes and the brain. Eventually, this causes a breakdown of the transmission of visual information from the retina to the brain.
Glaucoma Suspect
A glaucoma suspect is someone who has a risk of developing glaucoma. This includes higher pressure in the eye, evidence of optic nerve damage or vision loss. Glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss, and usually has no early symptoms.
