How to treat optic atrophy with head injury?

Patient's question:

Last year, my colleague and I had a car accident while going to work. I was injured quite severely, and although my body has fully recovered now, my vision has been severely affected. I have experienced multiple cases of optic nerve atrophy. I would like to ask how to treat optic nerve atrophy caused by head injuries from a car accident.

Doctor's answer:

This situation is considered to be a phenomenon of optic nerve atrophy caused by factors such as delayed treatment. If the optic nerve damage occurs multiple times, it is advisable to use hormone therapy as early as possible, combined with neurotrophic drugs. Some patients may achieve a significant recovery of vision, but if the treatment is delayed, it is difficult to achieve a complete recovery to the current state.
