Question

The patient inquires about viable treatment methods for optic nerve atrophy and retinal atrophy.

Answer

It is recommended that patients adopt a comprehensive treatment approach, combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapies, such as taking Chinese medicine, acupuncture, acupoint closure, and drug iontophoresis, to activate the optic nerve and promote the development of retinal collateral circulation, thereby improving vision. For children affected by optic nerve atrophy, parents should take them to the doctor promptly, avoid self-medication without guidance, and closely monitor the condition to help the child receive appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
