Answer 1

Sorry to bear bad news.  There currently is no treatment available for optic atrophy associated with brain trauma.  Some patients who have optic atrophy associated with inflammatory neuro diseases such as multiple sclerosis can be managed by using oral steroids.  But traumatic brain injury is, unfortunately, not treatable with our current technology.
