Unfortunately, in most cases of optic nerve damage, it is not possible to completely cure the problem, but surgery can help prevent the progression of this problem and worsening symptoms. Nerve grafting is one of these treatment options.
Optic Nerve Tumor Surgery
Gliomas are tumors that affect the optic nerves connected to the brain. These tumors are rare and often benign. Surgery is recommended for treatment if the tumor grows rapidly and centrally.
Endoscopic Lacrimal Duct and Orbit Surgeries
In endoscopic tear duct surgery, a new duct will be created for tears to pass from the eye towards the nose. In this surgery, a small portion of the bone between the tear ducts and the nose is removed.
Orbital Surgery (Tumors)
This surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia or sometimes under local anesthesia. Small incisions are used to access the eye socket tumor during this surgery.
Orbital Surgery (Fractures)
If double vision persists for several days after eye trauma, orbital surgery becomes necessary. Surgery should be delayed for two weeks to reduce eye swelling.

These diseases may include symptoms such as swelling, redness of the eye, double vision, drooping eyelids, and bulging eyes. Fundoscopy should be performed for pseudotumor orbital.
