Question
If, during adolescence, signs of optic nerve atrophy are found in the eyes, with inconsistent diagnoses from different hospitals, and ultimately a color vision deficiency is confirmed but there is no family history of this condition, how should one deal with the situation of optic nerve atrophy?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy refers to the pathological changes in retinal ganglion cells and their axons, leading to a decrease in the volume of the optic nerve. This condition ultimately results in the degeneration and disappearance of optic nerve fibers, affecting visual transmission function, and consequently causing changes in the field of vision. It is recommended to take the following measures: maintain warmth, avoid overuse of the eyes. Optic nerve atrophy has a significant impact on children. Once parents notice any related symptoms in their child, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis and pay attention to their child’s balanced diet in daily life to achieve effective treatment and promote recovery.
