A member asked:

Do any of the eye doctors medicines reverse or get rid of papilloedema?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not from the eyes: Papilledema is a swelling of the optic disc at the back of the eye from cerebral fluid transmitted from a brain with elevated pressure. This cannot be treated from the eyes - only diagnosed. The cause of the pressure must be determined and corrected. Your neurologist is the best for dealing with this.
