Optic atrophy refers to the degenerative inflammation of the optic nerve, causing the optic disc to turn white, which manifests as a significant increase in vision impairment and a reduction in visual field. In clinical diagnosis, based on the etiology, inflammatory nature, and manifestations of the optic disc, it is divided into primary and secondary categories. Optic nerve lesions often do not originate in the eye, or may result from insufficient blood supply from the brain, or be caused by other diseases in the body. The treatment for this condition is primarily based on pathological treatment. Currently, traditional Chinese medicine is considered the most effective for pathological adjustment due to its minimal side effects. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to dietary adjustments in daily life, such as reducing the intake of spicy foods.
