What is it like to have a baby born with a small optic nerve?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not good: Usually this is accompanied by a failure for the eye to fully grow. Overall the visual potential drops since the collected information of a normal nerve with all its fibers is needed to see well. What is it like: Hopefully just one eye and if the other is normal the child will do well. If in both eyes, then this will be a visually handicapped child.
