Optic Nerve Decompression is a procedure performed to relieve pressure on the optic nerve, which carries visual signals from the eye to the brain. Compression may occur due to trauma, tumors, infections, or sinus-related disease near the skull base. Patients may experience vision loss, double vision, or pain around the eyes. In Nashik, Dr. Chaitanya C Bharadwaj offers optic nerve decompression surgery aimed at preserving and improving vision where possible.
Evaluation includes eye examination, visual field testing, and imaging such as CT or MRI scans to identify the cause and exact site of compression. Surgery involves carefully removing the structure that is pressing on the nerve, often using endoscopic or microscopic techniques through the nasal route. These advanced methods help reduce tissue damage and allow precise access near the optic canal with controlled bleeding and better visibility.
Successful decompression can stabilize or improve vision and reduce eye pain. Early treatment gives better chances of recovery, especially when the nerve has not suffered permanent damage. Postoperative care includes regular vision monitoring and guidance on activity levels to support safe healing.
