Patient's question:
The elastic band was pulled away, causing blood to rush to the eye socket, corneal epithelial damage, and secondary glaucoma. High intraocular pressure led to a one-week hospital stay, after which the condition improved and the patient was discharged with normal intraocular pressure. The blood clots inside the eye have now fully dissolved. Currently, vision is slightly blurry. What could be the cause? Will it improve in the short term?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma can cause the optic nerve to atrophy, leading to vision loss. If corneal edema occurs, consider that the vision loss is due to optic nerve atrophy. In this case, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a thorough examination of the retina. Depending on the situation, neurotrophic drugs can be used to prevent further vision loss. There are many treatment methods for this disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment approach also differs. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to seek professional medical evaluation as soon as possible for detailed testing so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
