Drugs you are presently using is to control bacterial infection that might have occured during accdent. This is not sufficient for optic nerve damage. It needs decompression either by surgery or by medicine as an emergency procedure. You may talk about it to your ophthalmologist and get necessary referral to a neurophthalmolgist.
