Optic nerve atrophy (ADN) is the outcome of various diseases and damage to the organ of vision and occupies one of the leading places in the list of diseases
leading to blindness and low vision. Currently, more and more studies are being carried out aimed at identifying
certain connections between the functional state of internal organs and changes occurring in the retina of the eye and the optic nerve. This makes it possible to take
into account the newly identified pathogenetic mechanisms in the treatment of degenerative lesions of the most important structures of the eye. For this purpose, we
used electroacupuncture diagnostics (EPD) according to the method of R. Voll, which made it possible to identify violations at the level of organs and functional systems,
and to optimize the process of choosing tactics and methods of treatment in this
particular patient.
