Question
My cousin has been in good health, without any major illnesses, but his vision has deteriorated sharply over the past year. After examination, it was diagnosed as optic nerve atrophy. How should optic nerve atrophy be treated?
Answer
The treatment for optic nerve atrophy primarily targets the underlying cause, with fundamental treatment being the key. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment methods can be considered. Once diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy, the possibility of complete recovery is unlikely, but there is still an opportunity for the remaining nerve fibers to recover or maintain function. Therefore, patients should maintain confidence and continue with treatment.
