摘　　要：Hereditary,metabolic and toxic optic neuropathies cause bilateral,central vision loss and therefore can result in severe impairment in visual function.Accurate,early diagnosis is critical,as nutritional and toxic optic neuropathies may be reversible if identified early,and diagnosis of hereditary optic neuropathies can prevent unnecessary invasive workup,provide prognostic information,and allow for effective genetic counseling.Optical coherence tomography(OCT)is a valuable tool that aids in the diagnosis and prognostication of optic neuropathies as it allows for quantification of changes in the retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)and retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)over time.We review the characteristic clinical presentations of hereditary,metabolic and toxic optic neuropathies,with an emphasis on OCT findings.
