What Is Papilledema?
10. Long-Term Outlook
The long-term outlook for papilledema is usually not bad if the condition occurred on its own. However, papilledema is generally caused by underlying diseases or conditions. Sustainable treatment of the condition would, therefore, happen if the underlying condition is determined and treated.
As long as this is done, and commenced early enough before serious optic nerve damage occurs, a papilledema patient can lead a normal life and enjoy good vision.
