Depending on the aetiology, it is divided into congenital optic nerve atrophy, hereditary optic nerve atrophy, compressive optic nerve atrophy, post-inflammatory optic nerve atrophy and vascular optic nerve atrophy. Patients may experience blurred vision, narrowing of the visual field or even tube vision, etc. In severe cases, there may be a complete loss of visual function.
