Patient's question:
Neuritis has now turned into optic atrophy. Currently, I am taking Chinese medicine, but I don't know if this prescription is correct. Astragalus root 15g, Angelica sinensis 12g, Salvia miltiorrhiza 12g, Poria 12g, Codonopsis pilosula 12g, White peony root 18g, Polygonatum sibiricum 15g, Goji berries 10g, Ligustrum lucidum 10g, Dendrobium candidum 12g, Rehmannia glutinosa 20g.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Optic atrophy is a degenerative change that occurs after the pathological damage of ganglion cells and their axons in the retina, leading to a dysfunction in the conduction of visual impulses and an interruption in communication, preventing the formation of vision in the visual center. The primary treatment is to address the underlying cause, followed by comprehensive treatment combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine.Advice: If the cause is removed and large doses of B vitamins, vasodilators, and energy mixtures are used in the early stages to enhance neurotrophic support, symptoms may improve. It is recommended to regularly visit the hospital for follow-up examinations.
