Patient's question:
Can optic atrophy be treated? Undergone surgery, had light sensitivity two years ago, could see large objects, now unable to see anything. Seeking help: Has there been any improvement?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a condition where elevated eye pressure leads to optic nerve atrophy, resulting in vision loss. Considering the surgery you underwent is for glaucoma, it aims to control eye pressure. The current treatment goal is to maintain the existing vision without further deterioration, but not to improve it. Currently, there is no effective treatment for optic nerve atrophy to fully restore vision. The child is at risk of optic nerve atrophy, so parents must take the child to seek immediate medical treatment to prevent the use of small advertisements for drugs. Proper medication is essential. For parents, it is crucial to closely monitor the child's condition and provide the best possible support for timely treatment of the disease.
