At present, the problem of treating optic neuritis is becoming increasingly relevant due to growing incidence of this pathology among the young, significantly affecting their quality of life. High rate of disability outcomes (28%) connected with the development of optic nerve atrophy leading to irreversible changes in the visual functions accounts for high social value of this disease.The development of optic neuritis is known to happen very quickly in some cases, and in this regard all the performed methods of treatment should be urgent, aimed at increasing the treatment efficiency and preventing the irreversible complications due to the late and sometimes incorrect diagnosis.There are currently no reasonably effective treatments of optic nerve neuritis because generally, the therapy is etiopathogenesis-targeted, depending on the revealed cause of the disease, which in practice can rarely be established.The article reviews various methods of conservative and surgical treatment of optic neuritis and describes our experience of employing a drainage surgery technique with the use of allogeneic spongy biomaterial commonly used for complicated glaucoma.
