Patient's question:
Male, 19. My eyes often feel very painful, and very dry and itchy, as if something like a small insect has flown into them. My colleague said that these symptoms are very likely to be due to optic nerve atrophy. I am very worried. Please ask: What are the methods for treating optic nerve atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is the final result of optic nerve damage, characterized by the degeneration and loss of optic nerve fibers, impaired conduction function, recurring visual field changes, vision loss, and eventual blindness. Optic atrophy is a relatively severe eye disease, and treatment requires extra caution. It can be addressed through Shen Ming Mu therapy, which comprehensively nourishes the body's internal organs, dredges meridians, adjusts the balance of yin and yang, replenishes qi and blood, stabilizes blood circulation, and ensures the supply of nutrients to the optic nerve.
