The optic canal, a narrow osseous channel, transmits the optic nerve and ophthalmic artery, thereby influencing both visual function and intracranial circulation.

Upregulating Lin28a Promotes Axon Regeneration in Adult Mice with Optic Nerve and Spinal Cord Injury. Molecular Therapy , 2020; DOI: 10.1016/j.ymthe.2020.04.010 Cite This Page : ...

Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) occurs when there is not enough blood flow into the eye. This causes damage to the optic nerve, quickly leading to vision loss. There are two subtypes of ...
