Question
Does optic nerve atrophy lead to hearing loss?
Answer
High intraocular pressure caused by glaucoma and hearing loss resulting from optic nerve atrophy are irreversible. It is recommended to continue using hypotensive eye drops and nerve-nourishing medication. If hearing loss has occurred and there is no light sensation, special treatment may not be necessary. For children affected by optic nerve atrophy, parents should take their child to the doctor immediately, avoid self-medication, and closely monitor their child’s symptoms to help them receive timely treatment.
