Abstract

A 28-year-old male engineer came to us for advice about his “optic nerve atrophy.” He was told that his optic nerves looked pallor while having an annual eye examination. He also reported that in his family many relatives had been diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy and his visual acuity usually tested subnormal since he was a child. His married 2 years ago and his wife would labor next month. He also wanted to know if the disorder would pass to his child.
