Patient's question:
Suddenly, my right eye's vision dropped sharply. I lost light sensitivity after just 3 days. During a follow-up visit to the ophthalmology department, they suspected optic neuritis and admitted me for 12 days. When I was discharged, my vision had mostly recovered. Later, I felt my vision was a bit blurry again. I've been taking some traditional Chinese medicine ever since, but my vision is still blurry.Help: Can this be treated? What are the requirements for treatment?
Doctor's answer:
The condition you described is consistent with the symptoms of optic neuritis. In this case, treatment with neurotrophic drugs and hormones is effective, but the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is recommended to identify the underlying cause as much as possible and provide targeted treatment. Lastly, patients should develop healthy daily habits, maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical activity to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
