Patient's question:
Can optic atrophy heal on its own? What treatment is needed? How much does it cost? About three years ago, this disease began to expand and damage the eyes. Now some vision is blurred. A thorough examination at the ophthalmology hospital confirmed the diagnosis of optic atrophy. What medication is used to treat optic atrophy?Doctor's answer:
Optic atrophy is also an irreversible disease, meaning it cannot be cured. However, through the treatment of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is possible to suppress and gradually adjust the state of optic atrophy, preventing the disease from spreading. Subsequently, with the help of TCM in the later stages, the condition can be gradually and completely restored. Commonly used neurotrophic drugs include Vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A. Vasodilators and blood-activating herbs, such as niacin, dazol, vitamin E, Weiluo Tong, and compound Danshen, are also frequently employed. In recent years, hyperbaric oxygen and extracorporeal counterpulsation have become commonly used treatments.
