Optic nerve atrophy is a condition caused by damage to retinal ganglion cells and axons, making treatment challenging.

Congenital optic nerve atrophy currently has no effective treatment methods, but conservative treatment can be adopted using the traditional Chinese medicine Seven Star Needle Piercing Therapy. This therapy stimulates meridians, unblocks channels, regulates Yang Qi, and enhances the blood and Qi circulation around the eyes, thereby alleviating eye fatigue, improving visual function, and achieving the goal of relieving and restoring the optic nerve. During the treatment process, maintaining a cheerful mood, ensuring adequate rest, eating a light diet, and avoiding greasy and spicy foods are beneficial for both oneself and the fetus.

Optic nerve atrophy is a disease that causes severe decline in eye vision, but some nerve fibers still have the hope of recovery or maintaining function. Treatment methods include medications and vasodilating drug kits. It is recommended that patients maintain confidence and continue treatment. Commonly used medications in treatment include nerve-nourishing drugs such as vitamins B1, B12, ATP, and coenzyme A, as well as vasodilating drug kits and blood-activating and blood-circulating drugs such as niacin, dipyridamole, vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba extract, and compound Danshen. For children, the harm of optic nerve atrophy is greater, so it is recommended that family members take their children to a specialized department for re-examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, children can also drink some fruit juice in daily life, which is beneficial for digesting vitamins and preventing gastrointestinal discomfort.
