The treatment of this disease primarily focuses on etiological treatment. If a timely diagnosis is made and the cause is removed, partial or even complete vision preservation or recovery can be achieved. However, for chronically dilated optic nerves, even after treatment, their function may still be difficult to fully restore. For symptomatic treatment, a variety of vasodilators, vitamin B, energy mixtures, and acupuncture can be used in the early stages. Corticosteroids may also be employed when necessary. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for invigorating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis has also shown good efficacy for this condition.
