Picture of symptoms of optic atrophy

summary

Optic nerve is very fragile, can be injured, can atrophy and so on. When you have obvious vision loss, don't ignore it. It may be an important signal of illness. Optic nerve atrophy is a common eye disease, usually not a single disease. It can be caused by a variety of causes, such as congenital factors, trauma, inflammation, drugs and poisoning, And it can happen at any age. Next, let me share a picture of the symptoms of optic atrophy. Hope to help you.

Picture of symptoms of optic atrophy

First: some patients will appear mydriasis, fear of light and so on. If there are the above symptoms, the patient should see a doctor as soon as possible. The doctor will check whether there is optic atrophy according to the fundus morphology and visual function (vision, visual field), and then carry out X-ray cephalography, CT scanning and other examinations, as well as neurology consultation to find out the possible causes of atrophy.

Second: most of the visual acuity decreased significantly, and the vision was not clear or could not be seen at all. Secondly, the field of vision shrinks centripetally. Field of vision refers to the range of the residual light in the corner of the eye when the eye is looking forward. It is as important to us as vision. If the field of vision is small, we can't see the car coming to us when crossing the road, which is prone to accidents.

Third: in fact, optic atrophy is not a single disease, which can be caused by a variety of causes, including congenital factors (such as Leber hereditary optic neuropathy), trauma (such as scissors stabbing, fist injury), inflammation (most eyes with pain), drug and alcohol poisoning, benign or malignant tumors (long in the head or orbit), etc., which can occur at any age.

matters needing attention

In human tissue, nerve can not regenerate, so the prognosis of optic nerve atrophy is poor, and eventually lead to blindness. At present, we mainly take vitamin, vasodilator, Chinese medicine and other adjuvant treatment. Therefore, enough attention should be paid to this kind of disease, early detection of early symptoms, clear etiology should be treated as soon as possible, protection of residual undamaged nerve cells, as far as possible to retain part of the patient's vision.
