How to treat optic nerve atrophy

Patient's question:

My daughter is 8 years old. She was born with optic atrophy, and her current vision is 0.06. Can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of optic atrophy are many, and the prognosis varies. Some can maintain a certain level of vision and basically take care of themselves, while others become completely blind. Currently, there is no clear effect of treatment for optic atrophy, but different methods can be used to maintain vision and delay vision loss based on the cause. Stem cell transplantation has not yet been widely used in clinical practice. I recommend seeking treatment in a regular hospital under the guidance of a doctor.
