Clinical Trial Summary

The participant is being asked to be a subject in this research study because the participant may have a disorder that can cause optic nerve damage and impairment of his/her visual function which is called optic neuropathies (ON). Optic neuropathy refers to damage to the optic nerve (a "cable" connecting the eyes and the brain to transmit the visual signals) due to any cause.In this study, the investigator is using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ophthalmic measures such as optic coherent tomography(OCT), which are non-invasive imaging tests to measure the changes in eye globe shape ,the flow of blood and brain fluid. It is hoped that this study will provide new knowledge that may allow the investigator to better understand the cause of symptoms associated with optic neuropathy and ways to better monitor what is happening.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Globe deformation	Three measures of globe deformation are calculated by using the distance map: 1) optic nerve cupping(ONC), depicting the extent of the nerve head cupping; 2) posterior scleral bowing, depicting the degree of displacement of the posterior wall, and 3) maximal deformation (MD), depicting the combined deformation due to the displacement and the nerve cupping.	day 1
Secondary	intracranial pressure	Intracranial pressure will be measured using non invasive MRI.	Day 1
Secondary	Corneal thickness	Corneal thickness will be measured by corneal pachymetry. After anesthetic numbing drop is placed on the eye, blunt probe will briefly touch the participant's eye to obtain the measurement.	Day 1
Secondary	Visual field defect	Humphrey Field Analyzer II will be used to acquire the Mean deviation(MD).	Day 1
