A member asked:

Age 20 female. doc says one optic nerve is different than the other. what could this mean? going in a week for more testing.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: An optic nerve is an optic nerve. I'm not sure what your physician meant by that statement. I hope that the physician you consulted with is either an ophthalmologist or a neurologist. They are the perfect physicians to give you an explanation.
