Patient's question:
In March 2013, right eye pain was diagnosed as glaucoma, and laser surgery was performed. Eye pressure medication was used to apply eye drops, with an eye pressure of 1622, and vision gradually improved. In 2015, optic atrophy was diagnosed. Compound euphorbium was used for acupoint anesthesia. In 2016, vision gradually lost, and now sometimes there is light perception. With a history of diabetes for 30 years, I seek help and advice on what to do besides the possibility of not fully recovering vision.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, you discovered glaucoma in your right eye in 2013 and underwent laser treatment. However, it has been continuously worsening, leading to optic nerve atrophy. Now, even light sensitivity is uncertain. Optic nerve atrophy is a late manifestation of glaucoma. Currently, there is no effective treatment for optic nerve atrophy. Once glaucoma has caused vision loss, it is very difficult to reverse the vision impairment. Optic nerve atrophy can cause significant harm to children. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their child's diet and recommend a balanced diet.
