ONH Treatment in Yemen: a simple guide for parents and carers
If your child has been told they have ONH, this page explains the diagnosis in plain words and outlines the steps that help most.
What the diagnosis means
ONH stands for optic nerve hypoplasia. The nerves that connect the eyes to the brain have fewer fibres than usual, so sight can be reduced in one or both eyes.
The condition does not usually worsen, and many children make good progress when support begins early. The first years are especially important.
