Question
A 19-year-old male is gradually feeling unwell physically and mentally and wants to know if treatment for optic nerve atrophy can be cured.
Answer
There is currently no definitive effective medication for the treatment of optic nerve atrophy. While many medications that nourish nerves and stabilize blood circulation are used, their effects are limited. Perhaps traditional Chinese medicine’s acupuncture treatment has an advantage in the treatment of optic nerve atrophy, and it is recommended to endure several sessions of acupuncture treatment. Maintain a relaxed mood, pay attention to rest, eat a light diet, and avoid greasy and spicy foods, which are beneficial for both the body and potential fetus.
