Patient's question:
My spiritual life is doing well. I started experiencing blurry vision in 2006. In September of that year, I had cataract surgery. After 2007, my vision improved significantly with careful examination, but it was always diagnosed as cataracts. In May 2008, the doctor finally diagnosed it as glaucoma and performed a second surgery. However, it was too late. Now, my vision is 0.25 in the left eye and 0.02 in the right eye. Recent examinations have revealed optic nerve atrophy post-glaucoma surgery, with high intraocular pressure. I am currently receiving intravenous fluids to lower the pressure. I want to know if optic nerve atrophy can be treated, and if so, to what extent can my vision be fully restored?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma is a common and difficult eye disease with rapid onset, high severity, and the potential to cause sudden deafness. Always maintain a cheerful mood: anger, anxiety, and mental stress can easily increase eye pressure, leading to glaucoma. Therefore, it is important to always keep a positive attitude, avoid getting angry or anxious, and not worry about trivial household chores. Optic nerve atrophy can cause significant harm to children. It is recommended that family members take the child 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 and preventing stomach problems. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
