Retinitis Pigmentosa causes optic nerve atrophy

Patient's question:

Poor vision for 20 years, retinitis pigmentosa, optic atrophy

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Optic atrophy is the final result of optic nerve damage. It is characterized by the degeneration and loss of optic nerve fibers, impaired conduction function, changes in visual field, and gradual decline and loss of vision.
Suggestions: Commonly used medications include neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, as well as vasodilators and blood-activating agents like niacin, hydralazine, vitamin E, pentoxifylline, and compound Danshen. In recent years, methods such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, extracorporeal counterpulsation, and acupoint injection of 654-2 have also achieved certain effects.
