A member asked:
Optic nerve crushed, optic nerve transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No recourse: A crushed optic nerve (how did this happen to you?) causes permanent changes which will alter the vision sometimes severely. There is currently no treatment known for this and a transplant is not possible. A discussion with a neuro-ophthalmologist would be helpful in this situation.
