Vitreous turbidity is a common sign in many ophthalmic diseases, so the specific treatment should be chosen according to the cause of the occurrence.
The presence of cloudy material in the transparent vitreous body is known as vitreous opacities. Because vitreous opacities are a common occurrence in a variety of ophthalmic diseases, treatment is based on the type of disease. In brief, vitreous opacities can be divided into two categories: (1) physiological vitreous opacities: often due to congenital or age-related changes in vitreous metabolism, resulting in metabolized cells or metabolites floating in the vitreous, this type of vitreous opacities usually have little impact on vision and life, patients complain of floating small black shadows in front of the eyes, also known as mosquitoes, can not be treated, part of the vitreous opacities with the cloudy vitreous Symptoms disappear with the movement of the clouded vitreous position, and some patients with larger cloudy spots are now treated with laser. Patients should be reminded that if the number of small black shadows floating in front of the eyes suddenly increases a lot, or there is a feeling of flashing in front of the eyes, or a fixed black shadow obscured, should promptly go to the hospital.
(2) Pathological vitreous opacities: These are mostly caused by inflammation or hemorrhage, which are manifested as floating black shadows in front of the eyes, such as filiform, dotted or blocky, and can gradually diffuse into a patch. The key to treatment is also to treat the primary disease. If the primary disease is not clearly defined, oral medications can be taken to promote the absorption of the accumulated blood, and vitreous surgery is feasible if the accumulated blood is not absorbed for more than 3 months.
In summary, the treatment of vitreous turbidity includes laser, anti-inflammatory, oral medications to promote blood absorption, and surgery depending on the cause. The treatment is mainly based on the type of disease and whether it affects the vision.
