Which department should I go to for optic atrophy?

Patient's question:

Where should I go to the hospital for optic atrophy?

Doctor's answer:

In ophthalmology, optic atrophy is caused by the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and axons due to pathological damage, impaired visual information transmission, communication disruption, and the inability of the visual center to form visual signals, leading to atrophic changes. The treatment is primarily based on addressing the underlying cause, followed by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. If the cause can be completely eliminated, early treatment will involve the use of large doses of vitamin B, vasodilators, energy mixtures, and other medications to enhance neurotrophic support and stabilize symptoms. It is recommended to undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
