MS), which is a demyelinating disorder. When optic neuritis occurs without disc swelling, the condition is called retrobulbar neuritis. When disc swelling is associated with optic neuritis, the condition is called papillitis. Papilledema is bilateral disc edema associated with increased intracranial pressure OCP). Optic atrophy, the end stage of many optic neuropathies, is characterized by a pale disc and associated with a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) and possible loss of visual acuity, color vision, and visual field. One example of disc atrophy occurs in cases of Leber s hereditary optic neuropathy...
