Question

The patient inquires about treatment options for optic nerve atrophy after glaucoma surgery, as well as the potential extent of vision recovery.

Answer

Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can lead to optic nerve damage and blindness. Maintaining a cheerful mood can help control intraocular pressure and prevent the progression of glaucoma. For post-surgical optic nerve atrophy, treatment options include medication to lower pressure and surgery, but the degree of recovery varies from person to person. It is recommended to have regular follow-up appointments and follow the doctor’s instructions to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. For pediatric patients, parents should take their children to specialized clinics for follow-up examinations and treatment, and provide nutritional support in daily life to promote recovery.
