Patient's question:
My husband has had cardiovascular and hypertension issues for several years, but he can't control himself from drinking beer and still has a few sips every day. Later, my husband lost all his vision, which was caused by hypertensive encephalopathy. Can the blindness caused by hypertension and encephalopathy be cured?Doctor's answer:
Middle-aged and elderly male, with a history of hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, and a long history of alcohol consumption. Currently, he is experiencing vision loss again, with bilateral blindness. It is considered to be related to retinal lesions caused by hypertensive encephalopathy. Additionally, the issue may be related to the eyes themselves, which could lead to blindness again. Currently, it is recommended to actively seek further detailed medical examination in the hospital, measure blood pressure to control it within the normal range, and examine the retina. After a clear diagnosis is confirmed, active treatment should be provided.
