Can sudden blindness caused by optic atrophy be cured?

Patient's question:

Problem Description: About 5 years ago, I received eye treatment. The doctor diagnosed it as visual nerve atrophy and said it couldn't be cured. I persisted with treatment for a few years, but it had no effect, so I stopped. I never had surgery, only took medication. On March 19, 2009, during the daytime, I suddenly couldn't see anything. The patient thought there was no treatment available and didn't seek treatment. Now, I'm still at home. It's been two or three days.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! If optic atrophy is not treated, it will gradually lead to blindness, and the visual field will also shrink. Early treatment for optic atrophy is effective, as it can improve vision and visual field. Even in the middle and late stages, treatment can help maintain the current vision and visual field.
