What causes optic atrophy?

Patient's question:

Is optic atrophy a neurological disease or an ophthalmic disease? How can this condition be stabilized? Can Yang Yuan Ming Mu Tang treat optic atrophy?

Doctor's answer:

Optic atrophy can be caused by eye diseases or other conditions. For example, glaucoma with high intraocular pressure can lead to optic atrophy, and cranial space-occupying lesions can also cause it. Identifying the cause and treating the primary disease is essential. Currently, there is no way to completely restore atrophied nerves, so only maintenance treatment is possible for already dilated nerves. Yang Yuan Ming Mu Tang can be consumed to help with the condition. Optic atrophy poses significant harm to children. If a mother notices symptoms in her child, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately. At the same time, she should pay close attention to her child's diet, recommending a light diet with less spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
