Patient's question:
Vision is very low, almost unable to see anything, with no other special symptoms. I visited the affiliated hospital, but there was no significant effect. Later, I went to the Winning Hospital, where the doctor said it was optic atrophy, but the treatment effect was also not very good. For now, surgery is not being considered, or it would significantly reduce the visibility of the eyes.Doctor's answer:
The causes of optic atrophy are complex, and various different diseases can lead to it. Treatment must address the root cause and symptoms. Currently, there is no effective medication for treating it. In addition to Western medical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, and acupuncture can be considered. It is best to have an eye examination to confirm the diagnosis that the child is at risk of optic atrophy. Therefore, the mother must take the child to see a doctor promptly for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. For the parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
