Is Chinese medicine effective for treating optic neuritis?

Patient's question:

Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Is it good to treat optic neuritis with traditional Chinese medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese Medicine can also treat optic neuritis. This condition, which involves retinal lesions, can severely affect vision. TCM uses herbal medicine based on tongue and pulse diagnosis to regulate the body. It is also important to take medication. Mainly, attention should be paid to eye hygiene and preventing overuse of the eyes. Maintaining a regular lifestyle and a positive and optimistic attitude while learning to release negative emotions can help reduce immunity and prevent the condition from worsening. Adequate deep sleep should be maintained to prevent the condition from occurring.
