Patient's question:
My brother has been saying he can't see clearly since last month. At first, we thought it was because he spent too much time in front of the computer. However, after he took a week off for rest, it didn't improve, so we had to go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said he has symptoms of optic nerve atrophy. How is optic nerve atrophy caused?Doctor's answer:
Due to the failure to adopt strict double-blind trials for the application of various drugs (sometimes it is also not allowed), it is difficult to determine which drugs and methods are definitely effective. Commonly used drugs include neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, as well as vasodilators and blood-activating drugs such as niacin, hydralazine, vitamin E, Venoruton, and compound Salvia miltiorrhiza.
