Patient's question:
I have had optic atrophy for over ten years, but I still have some light sensitivity. Sometimes, under good lighting, I can roughly make out a few large characters. It was caused by an injury to my brain. Can this be treated? I have consulted several hospitals, and they all said that optic atrophy is incurable. Is that true?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that the optic nerve atrophy is caused by trauma. Unfortunately, optic nerve atrophy is currently very difficult to treat. In your case, there is a possibility of complete deafness, and the atrophy of the optic nerve will become more severe over time. The above is my advice on the question "Can my optic nerve atrophy be treated after 10 years?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
