In December 2005, the patient lost all light perception in both eyes and became blind. Diagnosed by hospitals in Baoji and Xijing, the condition is glaucoma with nerve atrophy, and it is considered incurable. They wonder if there are any treatment options available at your institution. Medical history: no history of diabetes, currently suffering from cerebral arteriosclerosis under treatment. Previously took antiglaucoma pills, eye blood circulation pills, and bear gallbladder eye capsule but with no effect.
Answer
Glaucoma with nerve atrophy is often regarded by Western medicine as an incurable disease, leading many patients to give up treatment. However, the treasure trove of Chinese medicine offers a potential solution to this challenge. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body is a whole, and treatment should be based on the whole body and individualized diagnosis. Nerve atrophy is not incurable; it just requires understanding its patterns of change and characteristics. Chinese medicine has achieved significant results in this field, with numerous successful cases already documented. - Chinese Glaucoma Specialty.
