Patient's question:
I used to think my eyesight was poor because of my nearsightedness, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a problem with the optic nerve. What are the treatment methods for optic nerve atrophy? In my current condition, what kind of treatment would be best? Will it worsen in the future?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the first step for optic atrophy is to identify the cause of the atrophy, such as whether there are other ophthalmic underlying diseases, hypertension, glaucoma, diabetes, or intracranial tumors, as these can all lead to optic atrophy. Second, it is important to nourish the nerves and repair cells, and some hormone neurotrophic drugs can be appropriately and flexibly used for treatment. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination to identify the cause and take medication accordingly.
