Question

Can an eye correction be performed on an eye with optic nerve atrophy?

Answer

Patients with exotropia caused by optic nerve atrophy can undergo surgical correction, but the risk of recurrence after surgery is relatively high. Optic nerve atrophy can cause significant harm to children. Once symptoms are detected in a child, it is immediate to take the child to a regular hospital for treatment. Pay attention to the child’s dietary issues, and it is recommended to eat a balanced diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that the child can receive professional treatment to help with recovery.
