Optic Neuropathy Types, Causes and Symptoms Optic neuritis. Optic neuritis is the most common cause of optic neuropathy. It is caused when the optic nerve is inflamed and the optic messages are not relayed properly to the brain. Optic neuritis is usually caused by an autoimmune disorder or other bacterial infection.ny damage to this vital nerve can cause significant vision loss or vision blurring. Symptoms of optic neuropathy. 1  Pain in the eyes during rest or even when moving. 2  Loss of vision in one eye or both eyes. 3  Blurred vision and color blindness (some colors may be hazy and indistinguishable).

Causes of a Swollen Nerve in the Eye If the optic nerve becomes swollen, vision can be dramatically affected. While swollen optic nerves can have many causes, the most common ones include papilledema or increased spinal fluid pressure, inflammation, blood vessel blockage, infection and a mass compressing the nerve.

Optic nerve Glaucoma is one of the most common illnesses affecting the optic nerve. Glaucoma is caused by high intraocular pressure, or high pressure in the fluid that is inside the eye (vitreous fluid). This high pressure compresses the optic nerve and causes cells to die. It is referred to as atrophy of the optic nerve.

Autoimmune Disorders Neuromyeltis optica. Sean J. Pittock, M.D., is researching an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system that causes swelling and inflammation of the eye nerves and the spinal cord (neuromyelitis optica, or NMO). NMO is commonly misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis. He has requested samples from 465 Biobank participants.

- 1 Optic neuritis is frequently associated with multiple sclerosis. 2  Other causes include infections, autoimmune disease, and injury to the optic nerve. 3  The symptoms of optic neuritis include vision loss, reduced color vision, and pain on movement of the eye with recovery over weeks to a month, in most cases.ptic neuritis is an inflammation that affects the myelin lining of the optic nerve, which transmits visual stimuli to the brain. The optic nerve is actually a nerve tract of axons that originate in the ganglion cells of the retina. Nerve tracts are the information pathways in the brain.
