The 21 pages that link to Optic nerve, each with the reason it gives.

• RetinaRelated: It is the route by which retinal output leaves the eye.

• GlaucomaBroader topic: Glaucoma progressively injures its retinal nerve fibers.

• BlindnessBroader topic: Injury can interrupt signals even when the eye detects light normally.

• Cranial nervesBroader topic: It is anatomically a central nervous system tract rather than a typical peripheral nerve.

• Retinal ganglion cellBroader topic: Ganglion-cell axons converge to form the optic nerve.

• IrisCompared with: It transmits visual information, while the iris regulates incoming light.

• Visual cortexRelated: Its fibers carry retinal output into the central visual pathway.

• Olfactory nerveCompared with: Both are sensory cranial nerves, but the optic nerve is a continuous tract rather than multiple fascicles crossing a perforated plate.

• Intraocular pressureRelated: Sustained pressure-related stress can damage its fibers.

• Optic neuritisNarrower topic: Inflammation damages this signal-carrying pathway, producing vision loss.

• Leber's hereditary optic neuropathyBroader topic: Degeneration of its fibers accounts for the central visual loss and optic-disc changes.

• Visual systemBroader topic: It carries retinal output into the brain’s visual pathways.

• Idiopathic intracranial hypertensionRelated: Persistent pressure can impair this nerve and cause permanent visual loss.

• EthambutolRelated: Ethambutol-associated optic neuropathy can damage this pathway and impair vision.

• Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorderNarrower topic: This disorder’s optic neuritis can be unusually extensive and severe compared with common alternatives.

• Visual impairmentBroader topic: Damage can disrupt vision even when the eye's optical structures are clear.

• AniridiaRelated: Its development and function help determine vision beyond the iris abnormality.

• Human eyeRelated: It carries signals leaving the retina toward the brain.

• Wolfram syndromeBroader topic: Its progressive degeneration causes the optic atrophy characteristic of the syndrome.

• Ocular Physiological PhenomenaRelated: It transmits retinal output beyond the eye.

• Ragnar GranitRelated: Retinal sensory activity ultimately travels toward the brain through this nerve.
