Patient's question:
I have optic atrophy in my left eye due to trauma. Can it be treated? Ten years ago, a car accident left me blind in my left eye. At the time, I was busy fighting to save my life, and I was in a coma for more than 20 days. When I woke up, I found that my left eye could no longer see. I told the doctor, and after examination, they said the optic atrophy was caused by the trauma. I have been to Kunming Eye Hospital, where they used laser treatment, but it didn't work. The doctor told me it couldn't be cured. I have been waiting for the advancement of medical technology and the introduction of advanced medical equipment in our country that could treat patients like me. We are in great pain. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Once optic atrophy occurs, it is very difficult to heal, and it is important to instill confidence in the patient and maintain treatment persistence. Commonly used medications include neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, as well as vasodilators and blood-activating drugs like niacin, hydralazine, vitamin E, pentoxifylline, and compound Danshen. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also be considered.
