Patient's question:
Surgical treatment for optic atrophy? I had excellent vision before the car accident. I don't have nearsightedness or any other eye conditions. But ever since I hit a friend's left eye with my elbow during a race, my left eye's vision has been deteriorating. I want to see a doctor for treatment. How is surgical treatment for long-term optic atrophy performed?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is not a name for a disease, but rather refers to any disease caused by sudden friction of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, leading to the thinning of the entire optic nerve. A common pathological term is the sudden axonal swelling of retinal ganglion cells between the retina and the optic chiasm. The final result of inflammation is the degeneration of optic nerve fibers and the loss of conduction function. For primary and secondary optic atrophy caused by inflammation, field changes, vision loss, and vision loss are generally classified as primary and secondary acupuncture.
