A member asked:
Please tell me what to do about calcium deposits on optic nerve?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Optic nerve: It depends on where the calcium deposits are located. If they are in the optic disk, then the calcium deposits are likely due to optic disk drusen, which are by-products of metabolism and there is nothing you need do about them as there is only a small likelihood they would cause any vision problem.
