A member asked:
Can dry patches on cornea cause swelling on the optic disc and or could being on computer too much cause either problems please help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Swelling of the optic disk is a serious sign that requires a prompt medical evaluation. Dry patches on the cornea are common and are treated with artificial tears. Using the computer can exacerbate dry eye but has no relationship to the optic disk swelling.
