Question
If signs of optic nerve atrophy are found during adolescence and different diagnosis results are obtained from different hospitals, and it is finally confirmed that there are no such cases in the family except for color blindness, how should one handle this situation?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy is a condition where the retinal ganglion cells and their axons degenerate, leading to the overall thinning of the optic nerve. This change ultimately results in the degeneration and disappearance of optic nerve fibers, affecting the visual conduction function and causing changes in the field of vision. The following measures are recommended: first, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid overusing the eyes; second, once symptoms of optic nerve atrophy are detected in a child, the child should be taken to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment; in addition, pay attention to balanced nutrition intake in daily life to support overall health.
