Can Optic Nerve Atrophy Be Cured?

Question

A 27-year-old man has been feeling gradually unwell without knowing why, and he lacks energy. Question: Can optic nerve atrophy be cured?

Answer

Congenital optic nerve atrophy currently has no effective treatment methods, but conservative treatment can be adopted using the traditional Chinese medicine Seven Star Needle Piercing Therapy. This therapy stimulates meridians, unblocks channels, regulates Yang Qi, and enhances the blood and Qi circulation around the eyes, thereby alleviating eye fatigue, improving visual function, and achieving the goal of relieving and restoring the optic nerve. During the treatment process, maintaining a cheerful mood, ensuring adequate rest, eating a light diet, and avoiding greasy and spicy foods are beneficial for both oneself and the fetus.
