Patient's question:
Previously, I had checked my right eye and found optic nerve disease, retinal detachment, and hypertensive cerebral infarction. I visited Tong Ren Hospital in Daqing, Harbin, Jiamusi, and Beijing, but there wasn't much of a good solution. Now, my right eye's vision is almost zero, and my left eye also has lesions.Doctor's answer:
Retinal hemorrhage is typically classified into retinal artery embolism, venous embolism, perivasculitis, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, nephritis, blood diseases, and other causes. It is equivalent to sudden blindness and clouded vision in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Traditional Chinese Medicine Eye Clinic in Weicun, Shenze, Hebei, has accumulated extensive experience in treating retinal hemorrhage with TCM. Through syndrome differentiation and disease identification, combined with fundus conditions, they have developed a series of effective herbal formulas to treat retinal hemorrhage, restoring vision in many patients who only had light perception.TCM can effectively treat retinal hemorrhage, with excellent results. Conditions such as macular edema, macular hemorrhage, exudation, vitreous opacity, liquefaction, and neovascularization (CNV) generally show significant improvement within two months of treatment, with particularly severe cases typically resolving within three months. TCM treatment addresses the root cause by improving the body's immune function, enabling the body to naturally repair damaged organs. This approach not only treats the condition but also enhances vision simultaneously. Scientific validation, such as pre- and post-treatment OCT comparisons, confirms the efficacy of TCM. Patients can undergo OCT scans before and after one month of treatment to observe the visible results.
The eyes connect to the five internal organs and six internal systems. In fact, any eye disease (excluding eye trauma) arises from dysfunction in the internal organs, blocked meridians, and impaired circulation of qi, blood, and body fluids, preventing them from reaching normal levels. Over time, this leads to various eye conditions. The progression of eye disease is merely an external manifestation of dysfunction in the internal organs, meridians, and visual pathways.
Every eye disease follows a process of onset, development, and change. By understanding this process and mastering its patterns, timely correction of internal organ dysfunction, blood circulation, and brain and optic nerve regulation can restore the body to a normal immune state, resolving even the most difficult conditions.
Chen Zhanyong’s Treatment for Central Serous Chorioretinopathy
Central serous chorioretinopathy is a retinal condition caused by dysfunction of the pigment epithelial barrier, leading to serous detachment of the retinal nerve epithelium. It primarily affects young and middle-aged adults, often occurring in one eye. Symptoms include distorted, reduced, or colored vision, with a central gray or brownish shadow in the visual field. The Amsler grid may show distortion or bending, and the foveal reflex appears diffuse. TCM treatment yields excellent results, with vision improving within half a month and most cases fully cured within one to two months.
Central Exudative Chorioretinopathy (Juvenile Hemorrhagic Maculopathy)
This condition, also known as central exudative chorioretinopathy, is caused by neovascularization, leakage, bleeding, and fibrosis, ultimately forming scars and permanently damaging central vision. It may be associated with tuberculosis or viral infections. Clinically, it appears outwardly normal but causes vision loss, shadowy vision, and distortion (without size reduction), with Amsler grid distortion. Visual field tests reveal central scotomas, and the fundus shows exudative lesions and hemorrhage. The exact cause is unclear, and Western medicine offers no definitive treatment. Laser therapy may significantly impact vision for lesions near the fovea, with poor outcomes and risks of blindness. Photodynamic therapy can only control progression, not improve vision, and is expensive and prone to recurrence. Chen Zhanyong’s TCM internal treatment addresses the root cause, with vision improving within half a month and most cases cured within one to two months.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
AMD primarily presents as circular lesions and is one of the leading causes of blindness in the elderly. It appears normal externally but causes blurred, distorted vision, and central shadowing. The fundus is classified into dry (atrophic) and wet (exudative) types.
- Dry AMD (Atrophic): 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.
- Wet AMD (Exudative): Early stages show pigment epithelial disturbance, absent or diffuse foveal reflex, and confluent drusen. Mid-stages involve macular edema, hemorrhage, and exudation, with serous or hemorrhagic detachment and neovascularization. Late stages form circular disciform scars.
Retinal diseases are serious eye conditions and a leading cause of blindness. Chen Zhanyong’s Eye Clinic has deep expertise in treating retinal diseases, specializing in immune balance therapy, regulating internal organs, and unblocking meridians. Combined with a series of traditional herbal formulas passed down through generations, his clinic integrates syndrome differentiation and disease identification, restoring sight to many retinal disease patients.
