Question

Recently, I’ve noticed blurred vision. After hospital examination, it was diagnosed as “optic nerve atrophy.” Understanding that the disease is difficult to completely recover from, I am seeking effective treatment methods.

Answer

After physical injuries have healed, if the fundus of the eye and retina are damaged, treatment should be approached from the root. The focus of treatment is on regulating the functions of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, promoting blood circulation in the eyes, and increasing the supply of nutrients to the eyes. Through conservative Chinese medical treatments, the condition can be controlled in the short term, but complete recovery may be more difficult. If a child at home has optic nerve atrophy, immediate medical attention should be sought, avoiding self-medication with unknown drugs, and following the doctor’s instructions for proper medication. Parents should give their children more care and attention to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
