Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. Can pediatric optic nerve atrophy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Nerves cannot regenerate, so the prognosis for optic nerve atrophy is poor, ultimately leading to blindness. For retinal diseases, the current clinical approach primarily involves supplementary treatments such as vitamin supplementation, vasodilators, and traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, such conditions should be given sufficient attention, with early detection of preliminary symptoms being crucial. Hello, this is a rather unique situation. Whether it can be treated must be determined after a thorough eye examination by an ophthalmologist, as a diagnosis can only be confirmed then. For instance, if there was previously high myopia, undergoing cataract surgery could potentially cause retinal detachment. Moreover, the development of glaucoma symptoms after surgery further complicates the matter. It is recommended to undergo a detailed eye examination by an ophthalmologist.
