Glaucoma with high intraocular pressure, hearing loss caused by optic nerve atrophy is irreversible. It is recommended to continuously use eye drops to lower intraocular pressure if the eyes feel uncomfortable. Optic nerve atrophy can be treated with neurotrophic drugs. If the child has already lost hearing and has no light perception, it may not be necessary to intervene. The child is affected by optic nerve atrophy, so the mother must take the child to seek medical attention immediately to prevent blind medication that only alleviates symptoms. For parents, it is important to carefully observe any changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
