Question
An ophthalmologist has indicated that the infant has congenital optic nerve dysplasia. What effects can this have on the baby? Please explain the potential consequences of this condition and offer assistance.
Answer
Congenital optic nerve atrophy is caused by various factors that lead to damage or atrophy of the optic nerve. This can affect either one eye or both eyes. The disease leads to a gradual decline in vision, ultimately resulting in blindness. While there is no complete cure, traditional Chinese medicine treatments can be considered to alleviate symptoms. Wishing you health!
