Question
In 1995, a car accident led to right eye optic nerve atrophy, resulting in the loss of light sensation. After treatment at a local provincial Chinese hospital, some light sensation was restored. What treatment methods and medications can help improve my vision?
Answer
The patient has undergone conservative Chinese medicine treatment, including ocular fumigation, ear acupoint seed insertion, regional medication in the eye area, and oral Chinese medicine. These therapies aim to regulate liver, spleen, and kidney functions, improve ocular blood circulation, and promote the self-repair of retinal tissue to treat traumatic optic nerve atrophy. Generally, therapeutic effects can be seen within about 9 days. It is recommended that the patient continue with the above treatments and regularly follow up with the doctor to track the recovery of vision for an early recovery.
