    This document discusses optic nerve diseases including optic disc oedema, papilloedema, and optic atrophy. It defines optic disc oedema as a swollen optic disc caused by local or systemic factors. Papilloedema is described as swollen optic discs due to increased intracranial pressure caused by space occupying lesions, ventricular system blockage, CSF abnormalities, or hypertension. Optic atrophy causes include vascular issues, inflammation, glaucoma, genetics, toxins, radiation, and cancer. Visual field defects are also reviewed such as hemianopias from optic nerve or chiasm damage and quadrantanopias from occipital lobe lesions.
