Abstract:
Many events can cause the irreversible damage of optical nerve.Conventional treatment of visual nerve damage is medicine therapy.However,each drug shows its advantages and disadvantages.Chitosan is a polysaccharide with positive charge and good biocompatibility,and it prosses the antioxidant,antiapoptosis and antineuritic effects,so it is thought to play a neuroprotective role for multiple causative neuropathies.The progress in neuroprotective mechanism of chitosan was reviewed in this paper.
