How is optic atrophy treated?

Patient's question:

How to treat optic nerve atrophy, where to treat / Thank you

Doctor's answer:

1. Avoid impatience and anxiety: Some patients become extremely anxious upon learning they have optic atrophy, lose confidence in treatment, and often overthink, increasing their mental burden. An anxious and impatient mindset is very unfavorable to recovery. Maintaining a cheerful and optimistic attitude during treatment also contributes to the improvement of the condition.
2. Do not rely too heavily on surgery: Many people believe that surgery is the treatment for optic atrophy, unaware that surgery is primarily suitable for acute cases of glaucoma with rapidly increasing intraocular pressure. Surgery is not applicable to all types of optic atrophy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment is an effective alternative.
