Hypothetically speaking, however: A case of true optic nerve pallor should be associated with VF loss and RAPD in the eye, as well as possible color vision loss. Optic nerve pallor and vision loss in a 40 y.o. should be followed-up with a MRI scan of the optic nerves and orbits.

Optic disc swelling, accompanied by optic nerve pallor, also may be observed. As visual function declines, the optic disc edema may resolve, leaving a pale nerve head. Optociliary shunt vessels occasionally develop that represent the secondary dilation of preexisting retinal-to-choroidal shunting veins.

TREATMENT: There is no known treatment, since degeneration of optic nerve fibers is irreversible. Since changes in visual function occur gradually (over weeks or months), ophthalmoscopic observations are not reliable predictors of functioning until disk cupping and marked pallor are noted;

This research was undertaken to gain an insight into the accuracy of such a system, which takes its measurements by tracking the luminance boundaries of the pallor area and the optic nerve head after an observer marks the starting points.
