Patient's question:
Male, 27. 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: Can optic nerve atrophy be improved?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is mainly divided into two types: primary and secondary. It is essential to treat the cause for significant effects. Optic atrophy is also very difficult to relieve. Currently, there is no specific treatment for optic atrophy. Generally, methods such as vasodilation and neurotrophic drugs are used to slow the progression of the condition. You can try traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, which may stimulate the optic nerve. Do not have any psychological pressure, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting more rest during this period. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will be beneficial for both you and the fetus.
