What about macular degeneration?

  Age-related macular degeneration, also known as age-related macular degeneration, is divided into atrophic type and exudative type. When it affects the pigment epithelium and neuroepithelium and causes detachment, it can cause vision loss or visual distortion, which is classified as “dim vision”; when a small amount of hemorrhage enters the vitreous body and causes cloudiness, it is classified as “cloudy shift”; when a large amount of blood accumulation causes sudden vision loss, it is classified as When a large amount of blood accumulation causes a sudden drop in vision, it is a category of “violent blindness”.  Countermeasure 1: Early detection and early treatment.  Common symptoms in the early stage include blurred vision, distorted vision, fixed black shadows in front of the eyes, or a sense of flashing light in front of the eyes. Therefore, people over the age of 50 should have an annual eye exam. Self-examination can also be performed with the Amsler table: using a piece of hard paper with geometric copy, observe monocularly at an appropriate distance whether the figure is distorted or darkened? In the early stage of vision change, macular pigment disorder is the main problem. Chinese medicine has great advantages in treating macular degeneration by toning liver and kidney, benefiting qi and blood circulation.  Response 2: For acute and severe cases, treat both the symptoms and the root cause.  The disease progresses rapidly, the visual function is seriously affected, the macular area has hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachment, neuroepithelial detachment and blood accumulation into the vitreous body, and repeated attacks can lead to serious visual impairment or complete loss of vision. It is necessary to treat the hemorrhage actively and in phases. For hemorrhage, it is necessary to stop the bleeding by plugging the flow, to benefit the qi, to cool the blood, to activate the blood stasis; for plasma exudation, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm, to dispel dampness and regulate qi; for late hemorrhage absorption, it is necessary to remove stasis and move qi, to soften and disperse nodules; when a large amount of scar is formed, it is necessary to nourish the liver and kidney, to soften and disperse nodules.  Countermeasure 3: Be cautious in starting and living, prevention first.  Avoid smoking and alcohol stimulating food, moderate exercise, long exposure to sunlight and long time watching TV. People with hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia have a high incidence of this disease and should actively prevent and treat it.
