Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

The primary focus should be on treating the underlying cause, followed by a comprehensive evaluation and treatment combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Once optic nerve atrophy occurs, it is nearly impossible to achieve complete recovery, but the residual nerve fibers can fully recover or maintain their function. Commonly used medications include neurotrophic agents such as vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, along with vasodilators and blood-activating and stasis-resolving drugs. Smoking and drinking strong alcohol are strictly prohibited to improve the body's overall health.
Children are threatened by optic nerve atrophy, so family members must take them to seek immediate medical treatment to prevent the use of blind medication to alleviate symptoms. Parents should carefully observe any changes in their child's symptoms and do their best to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
