The treatments for retrobulbar optic neuritis mainly include general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment and so on.
1. General treatment: patients with retrobulbar optic neuritis need to pay attention to rest, ensure sufficient sleep, avoid excessive eye use, avoid pressing or rubbing the eye, which is conducive to the protection of the eye, and promote the recovery of the disease.
2. Drug treatment: patients with infectious retrobulbar optic neuritis can be treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin and erythromycin, as prescribed by the doctor. Patients with idiopathic or autoimmune retrobulbar optic neuritis can be treated with immunosuppressants, such as methylprednisolone and dexamethasone.
Patients can also use nutritional nerve drugs, such as vitamin B, methylcobalamin and other drugs, which is conducive to the repair of the nerve, thus improving the discomfort caused by retrobulbar optic neuritis.
3. Surgery: For patients with severe condition, general treatment and medication can not achieve good therapeutic effect, and patients with obvious optic nerve swelling can have surgery, such as optic nerve decompression, to alleviate their condition.
It is recommended that patients with retrobulbar optic neuritis should consult a doctor in time to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
