Patient's question:
My vision has been poor since I was a child. When I was young, my mom took me to get checked, and they said my condition was congenital myopia, which is very difficult to treat. So, from a young age, I wore thick glasses. Now my eyesight is getting worse, and my prescription has increased. After checking at the hospital, I found out that I already have optic nerve atrophy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, since optic atrophy is a degenerative change that occurs after the pathological damage of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, the function of visual impulse conduction is impaired, communication is interrupted, and visual images cannot be formed in the visual center. The primary treatment is to address the underlying cause. In addition to wearing glasses, comprehensive treatment combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be provided. If the cause is removed, early use of large doses of B vitamins, vasodilators, energy mixtures, and other drugs to enhance neurotrophic support can lead to symptom improvement. It is recommended to regularly visit a professional ophthalmology hospital for follow-up examinations.
