Abstract
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is characterized by optic nerve damage following head or eye trauma, which can lead to severe vision loss. Historically, surgical decompression was the primary treatment approach for this condition until the study by Anderson et al. in 1982, which explored the effectiveness of steroids. Subsequent research, particularly in spinal cord injury cases, sparked debates regarding steroid use in TON treatment, with studies yielding controversial results regarding both effectiveness and side effects. Ongoing research aims to identify more effective treatments for TON. As a result, TON remains a clinical challenge without a clear consensus on treatment approaches, necessitating individualized evaluation for each case.
