Question
How is optic nerve atrophy treated?
Answer
The treatment for optic nerve atrophy involves etiological treatment, the use of neural nutrition medications, and lifestyle adjustments. For patients who have already developed optic nerve atrophy, although complete recovery is unlikely, appropriate treatment can help preserve or improve the function of remaining nerve fibers. Common medications include vitamin B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, as well as vasodilators and blood circulation and blood stasis remedies. Additionally, refraining from smoking and drinking, and strengthening one’s constitution are also important aspects of treatment. For children with optic nerve atrophy, parents should take their children to a doctor promptly, avoid self-medication, and closely monitor the condition to ensure timely treatment for their child.
