Question
An elderly patient with glaucoma optic nerve atrophy for three years, accompanied by cataracts, inquires whether cataract surgery can improve vision and asks about the causes of glaucoma optic nerve atrophy.
Answer
It is recommended that the patient first rule out the possibility of fundus disease and undergo a detailed ophthalmic examination to determine if surgery is suitable. Optic nerve atrophy may have a severe impact on a child’s vision, so it is suggested that parents take their child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, it is recommended to give children juice to aid digestion and vitamin intake, prevent gastrointestinal discomfort, and hope for the child’s quick recovery.
