Patient's question:
The patient is my neighbor, only 15 years old this year, suffering from hereditary optic neuritis. She feels eye pain and dryness. I know these symptoms are just the beginning, and if the condition worsens, it will become much more serious. I urgently seek some effective treatments.Doctor's answer:
First perform a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to characterize the condition of the brain and spinal cord before proceeding with treatment. Note: Treatment should first rule out organic brain disease.
