Tilted optic nerve ... is it causes blindnes ? ... can we corrct it by surgery ? .... which medicines and food habits are generally prefered ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.no.none: A tilted optic nerve is genetic, while it can cause some visual field loss, vision loss is rare. No surgery can fix this and there are no foods or diets that will help. No medicine will change this.
