Title Aging-Related Visual Decline in Patients with Stable Optic Neuropathies
Creator Jonathan W. Kim, MD; Simmons Lessell, MD; Joseph F. Rizzo, MD
Affiliation Boston, MA
Subject Aging; Optic Neuropathy
Description Histopathologic studies have demonstrated a loss of optic nerve axons with increasing age in the normal human optic nerve. The magnitude of this age-related axonal loss appears to be between 0.1%- 0.5% per year, and the clinical relevancy of this finding in the general population has been debated. For patients with compromised optic nerves, an aging-related loss of axonal fibers may become clinically significant.
