Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling that my eyes are blurry and I can't see things clearly. It's as if something is moving back and forth on my eyeball along with it. I've bought eye drops from a pharmacy, but they haven't been very effective. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's optic atrophy. Is this going to lead to blindness? How can I prevent it? I'm so worried!Doctor's answer:
Adjust your diet, consume more vitamin-rich, high-protein foods, and avoid smoking. Limit or abstain from alcohol consumption. Actively treat existing systemic and local conditions. Maintain a regular routine in diet and daily life, and avoid overexertion in sexual activities. For adolescents with a family history of the condition who have not yet developed symptoms, regular eye examinations should be conducted. Patients who feel frustrated, agitated, or pessimistic due to poor vision may hinder treatment. It is important to provide emotional support to stabilize their mood and encourage cooperation with treatment.
