Patient's question:

Loss of vision, outwardly it appears the same as normal, but there is absolutely no light sensitivity. How can optic nerve atrophy caused by trauma be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Traumatic injuries due to optic canal fractures or optic nerve damage can lead to deafness and a lack of light perception, making treatment difficult. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture could be considered as initial treatments. It is recommended to first visit an ophthalmology department for examination to confirm the diagnosis. Based on the condition, the next treatment plan should be chosen, focusing on treating the root cause and symptoms. Optic atrophy can cause significant harm to children. It is advised that parents take their child to a specialized clinic for follow-up treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children should receive sufficient care and attention, with special attention given to their diet. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
