How long to develop optic atrophy after avulsion of optic nerve?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: If there is a total avulsion of the optic nerve then the vision is nlp(no light perception) and the atrophy will occur within a few weeks. If the avulsion is partial them the atrophy may be restricted to the fibers that were severed.

Optic atrophy: Usually takes 4 to 8 weeks for atrophy to develop after any form of optic nerve injury.
