Do you know what optic nerve atrophy is?

Optic atrophy refers to various diseases that cause lesions of ganglion cells and their axons between the retina and the lateral geniculate body, resulting in optic conduction disorders.

Epidemiology. There is a lack of epidemiological investigations related to the disease. Except for hereditary diseases, the disease is generally not hereditary.

People who do not have a prevalent disease can be affected. Autosomal dominant optic nerve atrophy (ADOA) is the most common form of inherited optic neuropathy, with a prevalence of up to 1 in 10,000 in selected populations.

Type of disease. Primary optic nerve atrophy.

Also known as descending optic nerve atrophy, it is a type of disease caused by damage to the optic nerve, optic chiasm, optic tract, and the corresponding part of the lateral geniculate body.

Secondary optic nerve atrophy.

It is a type of disease caused by long-term optic disc edema or inflammation.

Ascending optic nerve atrophy.

It is an optic nerve atrophy disease caused by extensive lesions of the retina or choroid, resulting in optic nerve atrophy caused by retinitis pigmentosa.

ADUA: Autosomal dominant optic nerve atrophy (ADUA) is a rare progressive, irreversible blinding disease and one of the most common types of hereditary optic nerve atrophy with varying clinical manifestations. Patients with ADOA typically present with **, symmetry, and underlying vision loss in childhood.

Optic nerve atrophy is called "blue blindness" in traditional Chinese medicine, commonly known as "green blindness".

In this kind of patient, the eyes do not look bad, and the eyeballs are there, but the eyeballs will atrophy later. This blinding disease is the leading cause of blindness in China. The incidence is higher in the northwest of China. The southeast coastal areas have fewer cases.

The liver is open to the eyes, and the heart is in the eyes. Blue blindness is believed to be mainly caused by qi deficiency and liver weakness. It is directly related to the liver, gallbladder and heart and their meridians.

According to different Chinese medicine, this disease is divided into four categories and eight subcategories.

1. Liver evil: mostly due to emotional failure, anger and injury to the liver, liver qi stagnation, dereliction of duty, poor qi, blood depression, sudden qi and dysfunction, can also cause liver qi stagnation, eye blockage, fluid is not good, can not be nourished in the eyes and cause disease. (The wind evil enters the eyes, and the anger hurts the liver.) ）

2. Kidney deficiency: congenital insufficiency, due to high heat and yin, due to long-term illness and fatigue, resulting in kidney yin deficiency, insufficient sperm and blood, water does not contain wood early, deficiency fire is inflammatory, injuries and fluid consumption, sperm and blood can not be honored in the eyes and cause blue blindness - water does not give birth to wood. The kidney meridian is not reached.

3. Qi stagnation and blood stasis: head trauma, eye damage, or emotional discomfort, stagnation for a long time, or due to long-term illness into the network, blood stasis and blockage of the veins, and the essence can not reach the eyes, and blood hemorrhoids (brain tumor) in the brain can also lead to blue blindness.

4. Deficiency of qi and blood: insufficient congenital endowment, or uncontrolled diet, overwork, weak spleen, lack of qi and blood biochemistry, and weak operation. Qi deficiency leads to unclear vision, and blood deficiency leads to blindness.

Optic nerve contraction is not the name of the disease, but refers to a pathological change that causes the macula neuronal cells in the fundus to become deformed and even die, resulting in the softening of the optic nerve layer of the macula in the fundus. If the somatic cells of the optic nerve deteriorate and die, they cannot be reconstructed, so the degeneration of the optic nerve will lead to irreversible visual damage and even blindness. However, if the initial optic neuropathy can be treated in time and treated before the somatic cells die, there will still be a specific need to promote the repair of the damaged optic nerve somatic cells to save the eyesight.

Seeing the atrophy of the Divine Digging Omen, it is called "blue blindness" in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is commonly known as "green blindness".

In this kind of patient, the eyes do not look bad, and the eyeballs are there, but the eyeballs will shrink later on. This blinding disease is the leading cause of blindness in China.

Optic nerve atrophy is one of the difficult ophthalmic diseases, the cause of this disease is very many acres, although the doctors have different legislation, but it is directly related to the deficiency of liver and kidney, qi and blood yin deficiency, in the process of treating optic nerve atrophy in traditional Chinese medicine, we should pay attention to nourishing the liver and kidney, nourishing qi and promoting yang, soothing the liver and relieving depression, nourishing blood and activating blood. **Optic nerve atrophy, the ancients said that "the liver is open to the eyes, and the liver can see by blood", liver and blood deficiency, kidney essence is insufficient, qi and blood can not rise, viscera disorder, meridian blockage, obstruction of the veins and channels of light, and the essence of the five internal organs can not be wetted with the eyes, so the occurrence of "blue blindness" (optic nerve atrophy), ** mostly in the liver and kidney, but the birth of all diseases, mostly occurs in qi and blood, and the prosperity and decline of qi and blood are the main pathological changes of all eye diseases, and it is also the key to the outcome of eye diseases.

Materia Medica Mingmu Soup:

By regulating the internal organs of the body as a whole, the function of qi and blood can be improved, and the ischemia state of the fundus can be improved. Regulate the five organs, and focus on the liver, kidney, and spleen, combining nourishing and dissolving, and the middle qi is strong and vigorous, the qi and blood are full, the rise and fall are orderly, and the viscera is harmonious.

Specific** stage:

1.Adjust the balance of yin and yang in the body, dredge the meridians, and restore all body functions to a balanced state.

2.Warm and bright, calm the nerves, nourish the optic nerve and retina, and expand the range of vision.

3.The liver stores blood, the eyes see the blood, nourishes the spleen and invigorates the qi, regulates the liver and kidneys, makes the stagnant liver qi drain out of the body, warms the viscera, and improves the state of vision.

Patient ** Case:

Wang Yan, female, 44 years old, from Hunan. In 2012, the patient accidentally knocked his eye in the shed and Sen's house, and he didn't care about it at the time, and after a few years, he found that the vision of his right eye was declining, and his vision was blurry, so he quickly went to the local hospital for examination, and was diagnosed with: traumatic optic nerve atrophy (right eye), using citicoline tablets, vitamin B1, and Qiye Yangdi**, **Half a year later, there is no obvious effect, and now the right eye only has a sense of light, and the family is more anxious, and does not want to give up**, and later after a friend's introduction, he came to Beijing Taiyiyuan Traditional Chinese Medicine for **.

After coming to the hospital, the doctor judged that primary optic nerve atrophy in both eyes, and then the doctor used "Materia Medica Mingmu Soup"** to remove the risk factors and viruses that can affect the optic nerve in the body, and also restore a clear space for the meridians, and then comprehensively regulate the function of viscera qi and blood, dredge the meridians, improve the ischemia state of the fundus, nourish qi and blood, and repair and activate the eye meridians. Then quickly remove the symptoms in the body, stabilize the repaired meridians, and achieve the effect of removing the surface and consolidating the essence.

It can help patients successfully get rid of the long-term trouble. **In the second month, the vision has recovered a little, and the eyes can not feel the white fog,**6 stages later, the left eye has recovered, and the right eye, Ms. Wang and her family are very happy, and the follow-up has been stable so far.

Optic nerve atrophy is often not a disease, but a symptom, many diseases are easy to lead to optic nerve atrophy, such as eye trauma is easy to cause, glaucoma is also easy to cause, visual nerve slap dust irritis is also easy to cause, so if there is optic nerve atrophy, you must go to the hospital to improve the relevant examination to see what causes it.

Once the optic nerve atrophy occurs, it is often impossible to recover, and our goal is to delay the aggravation of optic nerve atrophy, and at the same time preserve the existing optic nerve and prevent the optic nerve from continuing to atrophy. Because if the optic nerve is completely atrophied, the entire visual field is completely lost, and only the tubular visual field is left.

If we are in the process of walking, even if there is 1 thing around, it is easy to trip us, so we must actively ** optic nerve atrophy, otherwise it is very easy to cause serious obstacles in life or work, usually you can use drugs to nurture the nerves, such as methylcobalamin or citicoline capsules, you can also use mouse nerve growth factor.

The medical "Clear Vision and Bright Prescription" improves the ischemia state of the fundus by regulating the internal organs of the body, qi and blood, and the power wheel contains the solanum energy from the whole body. Regulate the five organs, and in the five organs, the liver, kidney, and spleen are the three organs, and the combination of tonic and relief is combined, and the middle qi is strong and vigorous, the qi and blood are full, the rise and fall are orderly, and the viscera is harmonious.

Optic atrophy refers to a morphological change in the retinal ganglion cells and their axonal processes caused by any disease, resulting in the total narrowing of the optic nerve, usually from the retina to the lateral geniculate shape.

It is not clear what is the effect of the prescription for nerve atrophy, but it is best to find a professional doctor to take a look, because one medicine may not be able to target all symptoms, nor may it be able to target all people.
