Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my son is only eight years old this year. I only discovered that he suffers from neuroatrophy in the past two months. I am very scared. Why would this happen suddenly? Hello, the child's optic nerve atrophy was just discovered two and a half months ago. Can it heal on its own? What are the effective methods?Doctor's answer:
Retinal atrophy is irreversible. Once it reoccurs, it cannot be completely restored and can lead to severe vision loss. There are many reasons that can cause this condition. First, it is necessary to undergo a cranial CT scan in the ophthalmology and pediatrics departments of the hospital, as well as a thorough examination of the retina, to diagnose the underlying cause. Then, treatment should be administered based on the specific cause. Timely treatment should help preserve any remaining vision.
