Patient's question:
A woman, 28 years old, didn't know how to take care of herself when she was a child and stayed up playing computer games every day. Maybe that's when her eyes got damaged. Last year, she was diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy. Now, she feels very uncomfortable every day. She asks: What are the methods for treating optic nerve atrophy?Doctor's answer:
The causes of optic atrophy are complex, and various different diseases can lead to it. Treatment must address the root cause and symptoms. Optic neuritis, ischemic optic neuropathy, eye trauma, glaucoma, retinal artery occlusion, and tumor control are conditions that should be checked at an ophthalmology hospital or a tertiary-level general hospital's ophthalmology department for clear diagnosis. Based on the condition, the next treatment method should be selected. In addition to Western medicine treatment, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, and acupuncture can also be considered for treatment.
