Is there any cure or treatment now for optic nerve atrophy?

---

I've had optic nerve atrophy ever since I was a boy and I'm wondering if there is any cure. I've seen from western websties that there is no treatment but what about eastern viewpoints or other viewpoints. My condition is stable and with glasses corrected in both eyes is 20/200. I am still pronounced legally blind by opthamologists and they said that there is nothing that can be done and it won't get any worse but the downside is that it can't get any better they told me. I suffer from eye strain and myopia & I get terrible headaches. I tried accupuncture but it doesn't help (maybe headaches for about a year if I take 10 treatments). I heard there is electrical stimulation but I am skeptical and I don't know if herbs might work or not because I tried one time & nothing happened. Do you know if there is any cure or treatment possiblity or am I going to have to go through life blind the rest of my life? If there is anything, PLEASE HELP, PLEASE HELP!! I want to see & drive a car one day.
I'll pray for you....  (+ info)

I have optic atrophy, not getting worse, but vision is 20/200 in both eyes with glasses. It has made me legally blind and my opthomologist says there is no cure or treatment available, is this true? Is there any alternative or remedy that can help my vision be improved. I also suffer from myopia and I have to wear glasses. What can be done, I had this condition since I was a litlle boy and it has been with me my entire life, what can be done to correct my eyes or improve my vision?
Some eye care professionals recommend exercises to help improve circulation, reduce eye strain, and relax the eye muscles. The Bates method is a common set of exercises. It is possible that by combining exercises with changes in behavior, the progression of myopia may be slowed or prevented. Alternative treatments include: visual therapy (also referred to as vision training or eye exercises); discontinuing close work; reducing eye strain (taking a rest break during periods of prolonged near vision tasks); and wearing bifocals to decrease the need to accommodate when doing close-up work.
The following nutritional supplements may help improve vision:
• Vitamin A: essential vitamin for healthy eyes.
• Bioflavonoids. These plant chemicals can help myopic people see better, especially at night
• Zinc: may improve night vision
• Ginkgo extract: increases blood supply to the eye. It may help prevent deterioration in vision.  (+ info)

Is there a cure for optic nerve atrophy?

There is a clinic in Russia called the Human Brain Institute that says they can help my vision. I have optic nerve atrophy and I am legally blind because of it. My vision is stable but will never change according to my opthomologist. The Human Brain Institue is located in Russia though and the treatment is for 1 or 2 weels depending on the case. It is only $500 for one week at the clinic though but add the cost of airfare and hotel stay then it could add up and not to mention the fact that the clinic doesn't have any English speaking staff available so one would have to speak Russian or hire an interpreter. Is there any other alternative for curing optic nerve atrophy? Would you trust a doctor in Russia that says they could help improve your vision if you have optic nerve atrophy? And if I did do it and went over there then what about the cost it would take on me if it didn't work. I know it all comes down to choice but is there anything that can be done besides this or should I go?
I would do some research first before you commit yourself to anything. Can you talk to a specialist in your own country before going abroad? I wouldn't go until you know more about the clinic andmore about the other optins available to you.  (+ info)

Is high cholesterol autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive or is it sex linked?

Hope this helps;

Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
If a parent has the gene for an autosomal dominant condition, there is a 50 percent chance (a one-in-two chance) that each child will have the same condition. Dominant disorders often are quite variable, with symptoms ranging from none to severe.

Some conditions passed on through autosomal dominant inheritance include familial high cholesterol.  (+ info)

are you considered legaly blind when you have optic nerve atrophy?

---

my mom filed a claim with the social security department to get disability and they denied her i need your help plezzz?
Being "legally blind" has many causes.

However, the definition of "legally blind" is when one has less than a 20 degree field of vision and/or less than 20/200 vision in the best eye with corrective lenses.

My wife has less than a 20 degree field of vision and less than 20/200 corrected vision, so she qualifies as "legally blind." I have less than 20/200 vision, but my corrective lenses bring it to 20/30 vision, so even though I am totally blind in one eye, I do not qualify.

Social Security ALWAYS denies the initial claim, your mother needs to file for a hearing and at the hearing she will be given information to verify her disability to continue her claim.  (+ info)

Is Crohn's an autosomal dominant disease or autosomal recessive disease?

Can't find it in a master list of either classification online. Only things I can find online are definitions of the two, of Crohn's, but not of which class it belongs.

Thanks!

how does a person inherit polydactylism? Is it a recessive or dominant allele? IS it autosomal or sex linked? ?

---

what are the population statistics? IS there a particualr ethnic group[ more likely to have this disorder?
According to the National Institute of Health, more Africans Americans are affected than any other group.

It's an autosomal dominant trait. According to Healthline.com, it's found in 1 of 2,000 Caucasian births, and 1 in 200 African American births.

I knew a girl (Caucasian) who had this, but as with most people with the condition in developed countries, the extra digit was removed when she was an infant. So unless they're told by their parents, many people who have the gene wouldn't know it.  (+ info)
