Patient's question:
Recently, my wife has been having trouble seeing things more and more blurry. This morning she said she can barely read the newspaper anymore, only able to make out the general outline. What should we do? Doctor? I want to consult about whether vitreous opacity can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. I want to take her to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.Doctor's answer:
Eyesight becoming increasingly unclear may indeed be due to some turbidity after the vitreous body deforms, or it could also be the possibility of presbyopia. It is necessary to have a detailed and thorough examination at the ophthalmology department of the hospital. From a TCM perspective, it can also help regulate the condition, such as taking some Yin-nourishing and vision-enhancing herbs. Specific medications should be followed according to the doctor's advice. When you have time, you can also do eye exercises or undergo acupuncture treatment.
