Optic Nerve hypoplasia
How is it treated?
There is no cure for ONH and treatment is symptomatic for the specific difficulties it causes. Families and teachers can help children by providing appropriately sized books and toys. Children with ONH often have to learn aspects of vision, depth and perception to allow them to play and carry out many of the ordinary activities of childhood. In this, families can provide important assistance by teaching activities such as using slides, climbing stairs and water play.
Ongoing assessment of a child's needs and educational path should take place.
