Optic Neuropathy: From Diagnosis to Treatment discusses the pathophysiology, diagnosis, imaging, and treatment of glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

It is a condition involving primary inflammation, demyelination, and axonal injury in the optic nerve which leads to retinal ganglion cell death and visual dysfunction. The authors discuss evidence supporting the idea that monocytes are key players in the initial events that take place during primary optic neuritis.
