Patient's question:
My left eye vision is 1.5… right eye vision is 0.5. I didn’t know what was wrong at the time and didn’t pay much attention. It wasn’t until middle school that I realized there was a problem. I visited many hospitals, but none could find the cause. One of them, a People’s Hospital, said it was optic nerve atrophy and that it had been too long to treat… This has been a lingering concern for me. Can anyone give me an answer?Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: The treatment of primary optic atrophy should first actively identify the cause and treat the underlying disease. The majority of optic atrophy caused by pituitary tumors, even if the visual impairment is already very severe, often results in good postoperative visual recovery.Suggestions: Optic atrophy caused by optic canal fracture after trauma can achieve good therapeutic effects if early surgery is performed to decompress and remove the fractured fragments compressing the optic nerve. For optic atrophy caused by other reasons, the treatment effect is usually poor. Large doses of neurotrophic drugs and vasodilators can be tried.
