Question
Can optic nerve atrophy in glaucoma be reversed?
Answer
Glaucoma is caused by increased intraocular pressure leading to optic nerve atrophy, and there is currently no effective treatment to restore vision. The purpose of surgery is to control intraocular pressure to prevent further decline in existing vision. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice immediately and take appropriate treatment measures. For parents, it is important to closely monitor the child’s condition and help them receive timely treatment.
