A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with mild optic disc pallor a year ago.what is the possibility that i can go blind from this disease?

You should have it rechecked this year. If you do not have any other new symptom (pain, impaired visual acuity) you should not worry much.

Could represent archaic congenital mild optic atrophy. Not clear from your post if you have any disease causing this. An ophthalmologist can check for progressive issues
