Question
A 22-year-old male frequently experiences eye pain, dryness, and itching, with a sensation of insects flying in. A colleague suggested it might be optic nerve atrophy. Is it treatable?
Answer
Inflammation, trauma, brain edema, and glaucoma are factors that can lead to optic nerve atrophy. Currently, there is no effective treatment method. It is recommended to take vitamin supplements to maintain health, and surgery cannot cure it. Maintaining a cheerful mood, getting enough rest, and avoiding greasy and spicy foods are beneficial for both the body and the fetus.
