Can kidney deficiency cause blurred vision?

Patient's question:

Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could kidney deficiency cause blurred vision?

Doctor's answer:

Kidney deficiency can lead to a decline in eyesight. It is recommended that you consult a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor will determine the appropriate medication based on your condition. You can also take a small amount of Liuwei Dihuang Wan and consume some foods that tonify the kidneys, such as Chinese yam, chives, and black fungus. These are all beneficial for replenishing kidney qi.
Since your vision is blurry, it is advisable to reduce screen time with TVs and smartphones, do eye exercises, and focus on distant green plants. You can also brew some goji berry and chrysanthemum tea to drink, which is good for your eyes.
