Patient's question:
How to treat optic neuritis, seeking expert advice. My brother has had a 7-8 day decline in vision in his left eye. A head CT showed no abnormalities, but a dilated eye exam indicated optic neuritis. How should it be treated? What kind of help is needed: How to treat optic neuritis, seeking expert advice.Doctor's answer:
For this disease, etiological treatment must take the lead. Because once optic neuritis occurs, it is almost impossible to achieve complete recovery, but it is possible for the remaining nerve fibers to fully recover or maintain their function, which means that it is possible to fully restore most of the vision. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
