Switched to optic atrophy, want to use traditional Chinese medicine treatment method to preserve the swollen optic nerve, please ask if traditional Chinese medicine can treat optic atrophy.Doctor's answer:
Nerve atrophy of the eye primarily manifests as vision loss and a grayish or pale appearance of the optic disc. Nerve atrophy occurs when the ganglion cells and their axons of the retina are subjected to pathological damage, leading to secondary degenerative changes. The function of visual information transmission is disrupted, communication is interrupted, and visual images cannot be formed in the visual center. Treatment should prioritize addressing the underlying cause, followed by comprehensive treatment with traditional Chinese medicine.Nerve atrophy in children can cause significant harm. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's care.
