Question
The patient inquired about the treatment methods for optic nerve atrophy and expressed concerns about the burden of using nerve growth factor medication.
Answer
The physician advised that patients with optic nerve atrophy should undergo comprehensive evaluation and treatment, emphasizing that although complete recovery is unlikely, there is still a chance to maintain or improve current vision through treatment. The physician also mentioned that due to the lack of rigorous double-blind clinical trials, it is difficult to determine which treatment method is most effective, but a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine may be helpful.
