Patient's question:
In 2008, while removing an iron object, I was accidentally hit in the eye by flying iron shavings, resulting in a lacerated eye, retinal detachment, and the insertion of silicone oil into the eye. The eyeball is now shrinking, but there is still hope for treatment. Which hospital would be best to treat this condition? If there is no hope for treatment, how can the eye be preserved?Doctor's answer:
Traumatic retinal detachment. To fundamentally treat it, you need to see results. The traditional Chinese medicine conservative therapy involves: steam therapy applied to the eyes with Chinese herbal medicine, embedding herbal medicine threads at ear acupoints, local application of Chinese herbal medicine to the eyes, and oral administration of Chinese herbal medicine. Implementing all four methods simultaneously can improve the functions of the liver, spleen, and kidneys, unblock blood flow in the eyes, and reduce the need for spontaneous repair of eye tissues. Generally, the condition can be controlled within 9 days, and results can be seen.
