Question
Where should I go to the hospital for optic nerve atrophy?
Answer
Optic nerve atrophy occurs due to pathological damage to retinal ganglion cells and axons, leading to atrophic changes in the visual cortex when visual transmission is impaired, communication is interrupted, and the visual center fails to form visual perception again. Treatment is primarily based on eliminating the cause of the disease, with a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine as a secondary approach. If the cause is eliminated, early treatment may involve a large amount of vitamin B, vasodilators, energy mixtures, and other medications to enhance neural nutrition and stabilize symptoms. It is recommended to have regular check-ups at the hospital.
