Patient's question:
In middle school, I noticed that my eyes had optic nerve atrophy, but it wasn't confirmed. Different hospitals diagnosed it differently. Later, I found out that it was only color weakness, but I'm not sure about the possibility of it being inherited from the grandparents.Doctor's answer:
Color weakness is mainly due to the distortion of color discrimination function. People with color weakness can see the same colors as normal people, but in dim light, some of them are almost the same as congenital color blindness, which is usually called color blindness. It cannot distinguish various colors or certain colors in the natural spectrum; while those with poor color discrimination ability are called color weakness. Congenital color vision impairment remains unchanged throughout life, and there is currently no effective treatment. Optic atrophy has a greater impact on children. It is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist for follow-up treatment and seek medical guidance for treatment. In daily life, it is okay to give the child some juice, which is beneficial for digesting vitamins, preventing stomach problems, and hoping that the child can recover as soon as possible!
