Optic atrophy, can it be cured?

Patient's question:

I have had optic atrophy for over twenty years and don't know when it started. Is it necessary to visit the neurosurgery department to find the root cause? I have glaucoma in my right eye. How can I be young?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is currently no effective drug treatment for optic atrophy. In addition to Western medicine treatment, you can consider traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, and acupuncture therapy. First, go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for an examination to clarify the diagnosis. Based on the condition, choose the next treatment method to address the root cause and symptoms. Daily treatment is mainly symptomatic treatment. The patient can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins. It's important to avoid excessive tension and pay attention to rest.
