Patient's question:
A 24-year-old man gradually started feeling unwell, but he didn't know why. He lacked energy. Please ask: How is optic atrophy treated, and can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is divided into primary and secondary types. For the latter, treatment targeting the cause is relatively effective. Once the optic nerve swells, it is difficult to alleviate and recover. Currently, there is no specific clinical treatment for diagnosis. Generally, vasodilators and neurotrophic drugs are used to slow down the progression of the condition. You can try traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Do not have any psychological stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting more rest during this period. At the same time, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
