    Visual acuity directly correlates with surviving optic nerve axons in optic atrophy. This finding supports a theory linking visual resolution to foveal cone spacing, enabling functional neural channel estimation.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Neuroscience
    • Optic Nerve Research

    Background:

    • Optic atrophy, resulting from diverse causes, impacts visual function.
    • Understanding the relationship between optic nerve structure and visual acuity is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the correlation between visual acuity and the number of surviving axons in the temporal optic nerve head in patients with optic atrophy.
    • To provide clinical support for a theoretical model of visual resolution based on foveal cone spatial separation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of clinicopathological data from 14 eyes diagnosed with optic atrophy.
    • Correlation analysis between visual acuity measurements and quantified surviving axons in the optic nerve head's temporal quadrant.

    Main Results:

    • A direct, simple relationship was identified between visual acuity and the number of surviving axons in the temporal optic nerve head.
    • The findings support the theory that minimum angle of resolution is proportional to the spatial separation of foveal cones.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinical visual acuity measurements can be used to estimate the functional fraction of foveocortical neural channels.
    • This study offers a method for assessing visual pathway integrity in optic atrophy based on accessible clinical data.
