Patient's question:
Retinal hemorrhage, unable to see anything with the right eye, can only see a little bit of light, very blurry. If using both eyes to look at the same thing, the left eye will see clearly, while the right eye will see two blurry images. Excessive tearing, when the physical activity is too high or when tired, pain will occur in the right posterior occipital region, the back of the right eyeball, and both temples, accompanied by nausea and symptoms of sweating profusely.Doctor's answer:
Medicinal herbs can be used to treat conditions, improve blood supply to the retina, enhance central vision, and control the progression of the disease. The causes of macular degeneration, which leads to distorted vision, are varied. Generally, it is caused by exudative fluid accumulation under the retina, leading to macular edema, bleeding, and vascular rupture or leakage. Trauma, inflammation, tumors, tissue necrosis, elevated or lowered blood pressure can damage blood vessel walls, causing bleeding. The dysfunction of hemostasis mechanisms due to the enlargement of ultra-micro pores in endothelial cells and the formation of new blood vessels (CV) causing leakage and bleeding. Classification of bleeding: traumatic bleeding, broken vessel bleeding, inflammatory bleeding, bleeding due to hyperactive blood heat, degenerative bleeding, and changes in blood coagulation mechanisms. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is attributed to qi not capturing blood and spleen not governing blood. Vascular hardening, thickened vessel walls, reduced blood flow, retinal tissue ischemia, and tissue necrosis or bleeding. Thrombotic bleeding. Compression bleeding due to intracranial tumors compressing and occupying space. The causes of bleeding are related to hypertension, diabetes, vascular embolism, blood diseases, kidney disease, trauma, complications of high myopia, macular bleeding, and idiopathic neovascular bleeding with unknown causes. The pathological process involves bleeding or exudation, edema, proliferation, formation of new blood vessels, re-proliferation, re-exudation, and re-bleeding, with the condition recurring. Treatment primarily involves purifying the blood, repairing vascular endothelial cells, blocking new blood vessels, and directing cells to transform positively. In traditional Chinese medicine, retinal bleeding is typically classified as retinal artery embolism, venous embolism, peri-venular inflammation, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, nephritis, blood diseases, etc., which can all cause retinal bleeding, equivalent to sudden blindness or clouded vision in traditional Chinese medicine. The TCM Eye Clinic in Weicun, Shenzhao, Hebei, has accumulated extensive experience in treating retinal bleeding using medicinal herbs. Through syndrome differentiation, combined with retinal conditions, they have developed a series of effective herbal formulas to treat retinal bleeding, restoring vision in many patients who only had light perception. Medicinal herbs can be used for treatment, with excellent results. Macular edema, macular bleeding, exudation, vitreous opacity, liquefaction, and new blood vessel formation (CV) generally resolve within two months of herbal treatment, with particularly severe cases not exceeding three months. Herbal treatment addresses the root cause by improving the body's immune function, enabling the body to repair damaged organs naturally. Simultaneously, it enhances vision, and the efficacy can be scientifically verified through OCT comparisons before and after treatment. Believe in science—believe in traditional Chinese medicine. Science achieves the future, and science achieves traditional Chinese medicine. Patients can undergo OCT before and after one month of herbal treatment to see visible results. The eyes connect to the five internal organs and six fu organs. In fact, any eye disease (excluding eye trauma) is caused by dysfunction of internal organ functions, blocked meridians, and the inability of qi, blood, and body fluids to reach normal levels in the eyes over time, leading to various eye diseases. The pathological process of eye diseases is merely an external manifestation of malfunctions in internal organs, meridians, and visual pathways. Every eye disease has a process of occurrence, development, and change. Only by understanding this process and mastering its patterns can we correct internal organ dysfunction, unblock blood circulation, and adjust brain and optic nerves, bringing the body to a normal immune state. Any difficult disease can then be resolved effortlessly. Chen Zhanyong's central serous retinopathy is a retinal disease caused by dysfunction of the pigment epithelial barrier and serous detachment of the retinal neuroepithelium in the macular area. It primarily affects young and middle-aged adults, occurring in one eye, causing visual distortion, shrinkage, and color changes, with a circular gray or brownish shadow in the center of the visual field. Amsler grid distortion or bending. The foveal reflex is diffused. TCM treatment is highly effective, improving vision within half a month and achieving basic recovery within one to two months. Central serous retinopathy, also known as exudative retinopathy, is caused by new blood vessel formation, leakage, bleeding, and fibrosis, leading to permanent central vision loss. It may be related to tuberculosis or viral infections. Clinically, it appears normal externally but shows vision loss, visual shadows, and distortion without shrinkage, with Amsler grid distortion. Visual field examination reveals central scotomas, and the retina shows exudative lesions and bleeding. The exact cause is unknown, and Western medicine has no definitive treatment. Laser treatment can significantly impact vision if the lesions are near the fovea, with poor outcomes and risks of blindness. Photodynamic therapy only controls disease progression without improving vision and is expensive with a high recurrence rate. Our clinic uses internal TCM treatment for retinal diseases, addressing the root cause. Improvement in vision is seen within half a month, with basic recovery within one to two months. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by circular lesions and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly. It appears normal externally but causes blurred vision, distortion, and central visual shadows. The retina is classified as dry (atrophic) or wet (exudative). In the dry type, early stages show mild pigment disturbance in the macula, unclear or absent foveal reflex, and scattered drusen; late stages may show gold foil changes, geographic atrophy of the pigment epithelium, cystoid degeneration, or lamellar holes. In the wet type, early stages show pigment epithelial disturbance, disappearance or diffusion of the foveal reflex, and often fused drusen; mid-stages involve macular edema, bleeding, and exudation, with serous or hemorrhagic retinal detachment and proliferating new blood vessels; late stages form circular disciform scars. Retinal diseases are serious eye conditions and a leading cause of blindness. Chen Zhanyong's ophthalmology has deep expertise in treating retinal diseases, specializing in immune balance therapy, regulating internal organs, unblocking meridians, and combining traditional herbal formulas. Through syndrome differentiation, many patients with retinal diseases have regained their vision.
