ON swelling doesn't cause eye to burn. The naked eye is not much help for most of the eye exam the structures are just too small

Sorry, I realize was ON is. Would he see edema or papplimona (sp) with the naked eye?
So if I had optic nerve swelling, he would have seen it by just looking into my naked eye. What is the ON? Why do they dilate them?
I thank you for your quick response. Bless you
Yes you can see the ON without dilation. Likely you went in for a "medical" exam rather than a "complete eye exam" that includes dilation/refraction.
