Patient's question:
Previous trauma and the history of treatment and its effects: Optic atrophy, anesthetic drug in the temple, can this be recovered?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is not a name of a disease but refers to any condition that causes the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and their axons. Medications commonly used include neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, as well as vasodilators and blood-activating herbs like niacin, hydralazine, vitamin E, pentoxifylline, and compound Danshen. In recent years, methods such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, extracorporeal counterpulsation, and acupoint anesthesia with 654-2 have achieved certain effects. Traditional Chinese medicine formulas like Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang and acupuncture have long been proven effective and should be carefully explored and organized. It should also be noted that smoking and drinking strong alcohol are strictly prohibited. Enhancing physical fitness through exercises like health gymnastics and Qigong may also yield positive results in certain cases.
