Patient's question:
Since last October, I've noticed a decline in my left eye's vision. At that time, I thought it was just a fading (myopia) and didn't have it checked carefully. Now, my left eye can barely see anything. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Your intraocular pressure is a bit high, and the normal range is 10-21. You must control your intraocular pressure well, otherwise your vision will progressively worsen, and your field of vision will also progressively expand.Besides whether you discovered your eye condition last year or in 2001, there is a fundamental difference. If the condition was discovered recently, there is hope for treatment, but if it has been present since 2001, the outlook is not very optimistic.
In addition to controlling your intraocular pressure, you can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and take herbal medicine for a period of time. Your vision may improve. We have encountered such patients in clinical diagnosis, and some have seen remarkable results. Find a good ophthalmologist specializing in traditional Chinese medicine and give it a try.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
