Question
Vision has rapidly declined over the past two years, and multiple doctors have diagnosed it as congenital optic nerve atrophy. I am inquiring about possible treatment methods, and relevant imaging examinations have been conducted.
Answer
There is currently no particularly effective treatment for congenital optic nerve atrophy. It is recommended to visit an authoritative ophthalmology hospital, such as Beijing Medical University Third Hospital, for detailed examinations to determine if there is still a chance for treatment. If not, the current condition can only be maintained. Early detection and treatment are very important for optic nerve atrophy. Once parents notice symptoms in their child, they should take them to a regular hospital immediately for a consultation. It is also important to pay attention to the child’s care issues, such as appropriate diet and reducing spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover soon.
