What was the reason for your comprehensive eye exam? The findings "bilateral temporal optic nerve thinning" and "C/D 0.6" are for sure abnormal. What did the ophthalmologist tell you?

Usually optical coherence tomography is not a routine procedure in a general eye exam, and is more often employed to follow pre-existing neurological disorders or to monitor potential medication adverse reactions. Ask your ophthalmologist how this would correlate with any of your symptoms. Not feasible here, with provided information, to pinpoint etiology.
