Patient's question:
My mom went to two hospitals for check-ups yesterday. The test results said that her right eye has become blind due to optic atrophy. There is no light perception in her right eye now. After consulting the doctor in detail, they said there is no longer a way to treat it. I searched online and found that a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine might still offer a chance, but I still feel uncertain. I want to confirm if there is still a possibility of recovering her vision in this situation? How should it be treated? If it is not treated, will it affect the other eye? Can some methods be used to prevent the possibility of affecting the other eye?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the optic atrophy you mentioned is a disease for which there is currently no method to completely cure it.Advice: However, it is first necessary to identify the cause of the optic atrophy. After confirmation, further treatment can be carried out. Currently, oral medication can be considered to prevent the continued atrophy of the optic nerve. We know that optic atrophy can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, bringing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and take them for treatment promptly.
