Optic Nerve Glioma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Optic nerve glioma is a tumor that develops in the optic nerve, the structure that transmits visual information from the eye to the brain. Because of its location, it can affect vision and eye movement.
Common symptoms: It can present with decreased vision, changes in the position of the eye, or alterations in the visual field, although in some cases it advances silently.
When to see a doctor? At progressive loss of vision, double vision, or noticeable changes in one or both eyes, an eye examination is prudent.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the doctor who examines the eye and the optic nerve and can guide the evaluation of the optic nerve glioma, coordinating with other specialists when necessary. A timely consultation helps to understand the source of the visual changes.
