| Description |
Currently, there is no means available to assess visual prognosis of patients with compressive optic neuropathy who are being evaluated for treatment except for degree of pallor of the optic nerve. The number of surviving, viable ganglion cell axons might be related to the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer and could be used to assess reversibility of visual field loss. |
