Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Can optic neuritis be relieved??Doctor's answer:
Currently, for the treatment of the optic nerve, targeted treatment based on the cause should be adopted. This can maximize the recovery of visual function while preventing and reducing further damage to the nervous system. Therefore, it is essential to identify the cause of optic neuritis. As a result, if any related symptoms are detected, timely referral to relevant specialties such as neurology, rheumatology and immunology, infectious diseases, otolaryngology, etc., should be made to implement systemic and comprehensive treatment. The essential medications generally include hormone therapy and immunosuppressive therapy.
