How is optic atrophy treated?

Patient's question:

My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but I just see that she's not in good spirits. How is optic atrophy treated?

Doctor's answer:

Most 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 cerebral edema
㈣ Inflammatory exudation and regenerative repair.
Acupuncture for optic atrophy (opticatrophy) has 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 diet
⑵ Consume a diet high in vitamins and protein
⑶ Abstain from alcohol
⑷ Drink less or not at all.
