Patient's question:
Optic nerve atrophy caused by optic neuritis, currently suffering for 17 years. The last treatment was in 2009, which was ineffective. I want to ask if medicine has advanced now. Can it be treated? Even if it's slightly better, it's okay. The vision is too poor.Doctor's answer:
The patient, based on your description, suspects that your symptoms may be caused by optic atrophy. Currently, there is no specific medication for clinical diagnosis. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital's ophthalmology department for further detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis. The child is troubled by optic atrophy, so the family must take the child to see a doctor in time for treatment to prevent blind medication from alleviating their symptoms. For parents, it is necessary to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
