Patient's question:
Problem Description: Diabetic for ten years, blood sugar control is normal, now starting to have blurred vision, can't see things clearly. Is there any good medicine for treatment, how to treat.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Diabetic retinopathy is one of the chronic complications of diabetic microvascular disease in the eye, primarily characterized by early retinal venous dilation and microaneurysms. Subsequently, pathological damage such as retinal hemorrhage, edema, microthrombi, and exudation may occur. If left untreated for a long time, neovascularization may develop, and these new vessels are prone to rupture, leading to subretinal and vitreous hemorrhage. After blood clots organize, fibrous tissue traction can cause retinal detachment, which is a major cause of blindness in diabetic patients. Therefore, proper and comprehensive treatment of diabetic retinopathy is key to alleviating the suffering of diabetic patients.First, basic treatment: control blood sugar, blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood viscosity; maintain a scientific diet, engage in scientific exercise, and regulate emotional well-being.
Second, systemic treatment: traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Western medicine treatment.
Third, local treatment: ocular iontophoresis, ocular acupuncture and massage therapy (utilizing the meridian points around the eyes to regulate the balance between the eyes and internal organs, promote blood circulation in the periorbital area, and thereby improve microcirculation in the periorbital region. This method is highly direct and produces relatively significant effects), and laser photocoagulation therapy.
