Optic atrophy is a serious eye disease that causes vision loss or blindness due to the degeneration and impaired conduction function of optic nerve fibers under various pathological conditions. If surgical intervention is performed in a timely manner, a better outcome may be achieved. Alternatively, acupuncture, acupoint anesthesia, and other treatments can be considered. For this condition, it is advisable not to over-restrict the diet or be overly picky about food, while focusing on boosting immunity. When facing the disease, maintain a calm and balanced mindset, engage in regular physical exercise, and participate in outdoor activities more frequently.
