Patient's question:
Retinal hemorrhage, April 30th, due to a basketball hitting the glassesDoctor's answer:
Chinese medicine can be used to treat this condition, and it is very effective. It is used to treat macular edema, macular hemorrhage, exudation, vitreous opacity, liquefaction, and neovascularization (CVN). Generally, two months of Chinese medicine treatment can eliminate edema and exudation. For particularly severe cases, the treatment will not exceed three months. Chinese medicine treatment addresses the root cause by improving the body's immune function, allowing the body to naturally repair damaged organs. This is the true way to treat the root of the problem. While treating the condition, vision is also improved simultaneously. Scientific validation is possible, such as comparing OCT scans before and after medication. Believe in science—believe in traditional Chinese medicine. Science achieves the future, and science achieves traditional Chinese medicine. Patients can have an OCT scan before starting treatment and another one a month later to compare the results. The efficacy is visible.The eyes connect to the five viscera and six bowels. In fact, any eye disease (excluding eye trauma) is caused by dysfunction of the viscera, blocked meridians, and the inability of qi, blood, and body fluids to reach the eyes to normal levels. Over time, various eye diseases develop. The pathological process of eye disease is merely an external manifestation of malfunctions in the viscera, meridians, and visual pathways. Any eye disease has a process of occurrence, development, and change. Only by understanding this process and mastering its patterns can we correct visceral dysfunction, unblock blood circulation, and adjust brain and optic nerves, bringing the body to a normal immune state. In this way, any difficult disease can be resolved effortlessly.
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is an eye 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, usually in one eye. Symptoms include distorted, diminished, or colored vision, a central grey or brownish shadow in the visual field, and Amsler grid distortion or bending. The foveal reflex appears diffuse. Chinese medicine treatment is highly effective, with vision improving within half a month and basic recovery within one to two months.
Central serous retinal chorioretinopathy (CSR) is also known as exudative macular hemorrhagic disease. It is caused by neovascularization, leakage, bleeding, and fibrosis, ultimately leading to scarring and permanent central vision loss. It may be related to tuberculosis or viral infections. Clinically, it appears outwardly normal but shows vision loss, shadowed vision, and distorted vision (without size reduction), along with Amsler grid distortion. Visual field tests reveal central scotomas, and fundoscopy shows exudative lesions and bleeding. The exact cause is unclear, and Western medicine offers no definitive treatment. Laser therapy can significantly impact vision if the lesion is close to the fovea, with poor outcomes and a risk of blindness. Photodynamic therapy can only control disease progression, not improve vision, and it is expensive and prone to recurrence. At our clinic, we use internal Chinese medicine treatment for retinal diseases, addressing the root cause of CSR. Vision improves within half a month, and most patients recover within one to two months.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) often presents as circular lesions and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly. Outwardly, it may appear normal, but symptoms include blurred, distorted vision, and a central shadow. Fundoscopy reveals dry (atrophic) and wet (exudative) types. In the dry type, early stages show mild pigment disturbance in the macula, unclear or absent foveal reflex, and scattered drusen. Late stages may include golden-fleck changes, geographic atrophy of the pigment epithelium, cystoid degeneration, or lamellar holes. In the wet type, early stages show pigment epithelial disturbance, loss 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 neovascularization. Late stages form circular disciform scars.
Retinal diseases are serious eye conditions and a major cause of blindness. Chen Zhan Yong's ophthalmology clinic has deep expertise in retinal diseases and specializes in immune balance therapy, regulating the viscera, unblocking meridians, and combining a series of traditional Chinese medicine formulas passed down through generations. By integrating disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation, many patients with retinal diseases have regained their sight.
