Patient's question:
Doctor, my grandfather has vitreous opacity. Because I wasn't at home, my relatives took him to see a doctor. So I'm not very clear about the precautions for treating vitreous opacity. Hello, what are the treatments and precautions for vitreous opacity in the elderly?Doctor's answer:
Older adults experiencing vitreous opacity should first be advised to take them to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for a thorough eye examination. If the vitreous opacity is caused by retinal hemorrhage, timely medication treatment should be administered. After the blood in the vitreous is absorbed, laser treatment should be given promptly. It is important to actively identify the underlying disease. If the vitreous opacity is caused by diabetic retinopathy, oral medications or insulin injections should be used to strictly control blood sugar levels.
