Patient's question:
Doctor, my father is fifty years old this year. In the past two years, his vision has almost become unable to see any objects clearly. More than ten years ago, he already began to feel his vision declining, but he didn't pay much attention to it! As a result, he can no longer see any objects clearly now. He once suffered a head injury on the back of his head! In December last year, he underwent a thorough examination at the state hospital and was diagnosed with glaucoma leading to optic nerve atrophy, accompanied by high intraocular pressure!Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma can lead to optic nerve atrophy, accompanied by high intraocular pressure. In addition to Western medical treatment, it's worth considering traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, and acupuncture. First, go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for a check-up to confirm the diagnosis. Then, choose the next treatment plan based on the condition. Treatment must address the root cause and symptoms. Optic nerve atrophy can cause significant harm to children. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should take them to a regular hospital immediately. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's diet. It's recommended to eat a balanced diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods. We hope the child can receive appropriate treatment and recover!
