How does an eye look after optic nerve damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Optic atrophy: Externally the eye may seem just fine, but if the retina is examined via ophthalmological tools, the disc may look small and pale, the blood vessels may have changed, and the visual acuity drops quite significantly.
