Patient's question:
Female, 21, when I was a child I didn't know what I was doing, playing computer games all night every day. Maybe it was back then that my eyes got damaged. Last year, I was diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy. Now, every day is very painful for me. Please ask: How should optic nerve atrophy be treated?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy refers to the degenerative inflammation of the optic nerve, which causes the optic disc to turn white, manifesting as a significant increase in vision impairment and a reduction in visual field. In clinical diagnosis, it is categorized into primary and secondary types based on the cause, nature of inflammation, and manifestations of the optic disc. This condition is one of the challenging diseases in ophthalmology, and appropriate dietary management is beneficial for its improvement and stabilization. In terms of clinical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine has shown particularly prominent effects.
