How to treat optic atrophy safely and appropriately?

Patient's question:

A 29-year-old woman used to play computer games all night when she was a child and didn't know any better. Maybe that's when her eyes got damaged. Last year, she was diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy. Now, she suffers every day. She asks: How can optic nerve atrophy be treated safely and effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Edema, inflammation, tumor control, trauma, and vascular obstruction can all lead to optic nerve atrophy. Clinical manifestations include vision loss, and in severe cases, it can result in deafness. Optic nerve cells cannot be regenerated; once swollen, their function is lost. Currently, there are no effective clinical methods to treat optic nerve swelling. Do not have any psychological stress, 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 is beneficial for both you and the baby in your womb.
