Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How should central retinal artery occlusion be treated?Doctor's answer:
Central retinal artery occlusion is a type of arterial embolism. It affects the function of the retina in the eye, leading to blurred vision and, in severe cases, even the risk of deafness. Treatment involves taking medications under the guidance of a doctor to promote the formation of collateral circulation in the arteries. The elderly should pay attention to rest and avoid strong light exposure, such as watching TV. A light diet is recommended, avoiding high-fat foods, and consuming more fresh vegetables.
