Question
About five years ago, the patient had received eye treatment and was diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy by the doctor, who stated that it was incurable. Despite years of continued treatment, there was no significant improvement, and treatment was eventually stopped. The patient did not undergo surgery and was treated only with medication. On March 19, 2009, the patient suddenly became completely blind during the day. Believing there was no hope for treatment, the patient did not seek further treatment and has remained at home since.
Answer
Hello! If optic nerve atrophy is left untreated, it will eventually lead to complete blindness with a gradual shrinking of the field of vision. Early treatment of optic nerve atrophy can improve vision and field of vision, even in the middle and late stages of treatment, helping to maintain the current level of vision and field of vision.
