Question

I have had optic nerve atrophy in my right eye for one year, and suddenly my vision has become blurred. Upon examination, it was found that it was caused by vascular blockage. I would like to inquire about the treatment for optic nerve atrophy that has lasted for one year.

Answer

Based on the patient’s symptoms, it may be due to central retinal artery occlusion, which usually comes with a sudden drop in vision. Since the damage to the optic nerve is irreversible, the prognosis is generally poor. For pediatric optic nerve atrophy, it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialist clinic for follow-up and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. In daily life, giving children juice can help with digestion and absorption of vitamins, and prevent diarrhea, hoping for an early recovery of the child.
