Patient's question:
The doctor needs me to go to the hospital for chemotherapy irregularly because I had gastric cancer two years ago. After undergoing too much chemotherapy, it led to the atrophy of my optic nerve, and now I see things blurry and not very clearly. I would like to ask, can optic nerve atrophy caused by chemotherapy be treated?Doctor's answer:
Chemotherapy can lead to optic nerve atrophy, but it is generally still possible to alleviate it. It is best to choose some large ophthalmology hospitals or large general hospitals for the relief, because the technical expertise of doctors in some large hospitals is relatively better, and the equipment is also more advanced. This can ensure that the effect after relief will be very good. I hope my explanation can help you.Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in more aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and keep a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and speed up the recovery process.
