Is cholesterol on the optic nerve dangerous?
My husband was recently told by an eye doctor that he has cholesterol deposits on his left optic nerve. It apparently is not a huge concern, but he has been told to eat dark, leafy greens, and orange vegetables; essentially to eat anti-oxidants, vitamin A, and beta-carotine. I would like to hear from any medical professionals if this is a serious concern, and if there are any OTC vitamins or herbal remedies that may help to stem the tide of cholesterol on the optic nerve. Thank you.
