Question
I’ve been feeling blurry vision lately, struggling to see things clearly, as if something is moving around in my eye balls. I’ve bought eye drops from a pharmacy, but the effect isn’t great. I went to the hospital and the doctor said it’s optic nerve atrophy. Will this lead to blindness? How can I prevent it? I’m really worried!
Answer
Adjust your diet by consuming more vitamin and high-protein foods, quit smoking, and limit alcohol intake. Actively treat existing systemic and regional diseases. Maintain a regular lifestyle and avoid overexertion. For teenagers with a family history of the disease who have not yet developed symptoms, regular eye examinations should be conducted. Patients feeling depressed, anxious, or pessimistic due to low vision are not beneficial for treatment. Guidance should be provided to stabilize the patient’s emotions and ensure they cooperate with treatment.
