Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The thing is, I don't really know what's going on, but she just seems quite unwell. How is optic atrophy treated?Doctor's answer:
The majority of patients with optic atrophy are not experiencing irreversible complete disintegration or suppuration of the optic nerve, but rather a series of pathological processes such as:㈠ Microcirculatory disorders
㈡ Axonal flow obstruction
㈢ Tissue brain edema
㈣ Inflammatory exudation and subsequent repair. Acupuncture for optic atrophy (opticatrophy) can achieve the following effects:
① Promoting circulation
② Reducing exudation
③ Accelerating metabolism
④ Increasing tissue necrosis.
For optic atrophy (opticatrophy), it is necessary to:
⑴ Adjust dietary habits
⑵ Consume a diet rich in high protein and vitamins
⑶ Abstain from alcohol
⑷ Minimize or avoid alcohol consumption.
