Patient's question:
Right eye photoreceptor injury occurred five days ago from falling and hitting the right forehead. CT did not show a fracture, but the doctor suspected optic nerve damage. After using nerve growth factor for 20 days, there has been no improvement. How should optic atrophy be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, Western medicine has no ideal drugs or techniques for the treatment of this disease. After diagnosis, conventional use of traditional Chinese medicine often does not lead to a decrease in vision. Traditional Chinese medicine employs medication and acupuncture methods, which can improve vision in the vast majority of patients, but the color of the optic disc in the retina generally cannot be fully restored. Optic nerve atrophy has a significant impact on children, so it is recommended that parents take their child to a specialist for follow-up treatment and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, children can be given enough care and attention, and their dietary issues should be given more attention, with the hope that they can recover as soon as possible!
