Patient's question:
About optic atrophy? My mother's eyes are getting more and more blurry. Good or bad, the hospital said the nerves in her eyes are atrophied. Is there any way to suppress it? Or can any medications or supplements be used? What should be done about optic nerve atrophy in the eyes?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is not a name of a disease but refers to any condition that causes sudden changes in the retinal ganglion cells and their axons, leading to the complete thinning of the optic nerve. It is a common pathological term and typically occurs in the axonal degeneration of ganglion cells between the retina and the lateral geniculate body. Optic atrophy can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the relationship between the eye and the viscera, meridians, as well as the position, structure, and function of the eye, the treatment of optic atrophy is based on syndrome differentiation and treatment. I spent the whole day looking for new members of Chi Runhua's studio at Deshengmen, on Tuesdays, Fridays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
