If you feel the center of things is not clear, the more want to see the more blurred, or visual distortion, see the straight line bend. Or seems the lens is not cleaned. Serious decline in vision, people will be difficult to read, watch……even can not take care of themselves and fall easily. You may have retinal or Macular disease.
Our eyeballs are like a sophisticated camera. To get a clear picture, you need a clear cornea, lens, vitreous, normal retina and optic nerve. The retina is often described as a film in the camera, and there are no clear photos without a good film. Macula is the film which is most sensitive and finest area on the retina in our eyes.
Today we are going to talk about a kind of retinal disease - The Senior People are most likely to have it, macular degeneration(AMD：Age-related macular degeneration). Due to different clinical manifestations, it can be divided into Atrophic and Exudative types. The two types can be transformed into each other, which is a serious eye disease leading to blindness, and the possibility of cure is small.
Atrophic (dry) macular degeneration, a progressive pigment epithelial atrophy in the macular area, is characterized by slow onset, long course of disease, no special treatment, clinical observation, and oral lutein and multivitamins.
Exudative (wet) macular degeneration, which is an active neovascularization (CNV) [new blood vessel grows] under the pigment epithelium, causes a series of bleeding, exudation, Once a lesion occurs, it often causes visual distortion, dark shadows, vision loss, and even blindness.
How does Traditional Oriental Medicine treat macular degeneration?
When the relevant acupuncture points surround the eyes, specific acupuncture points around the body, and traditional herb medicine work together, can dredge phlegm, strengthen organs, accelerate blood, more nutrients and energy will be brought to the eyes. For exudative (wet) macular degeneration, Some patients’ vision can be significantly improved.
Once your vision back, you should take good care of your eyes and avoid excessive use of them again. Avoid strong light. You also can take some foods that are nutritious to the eyes, such as corn, blueberries, and cranberries. Lutein as a health supplement also has a certain nutritional effect on the macula.
