Because the macula is the most sensitive part of the retina to light, patients with macular edema can experience vision loss. Because the macula is located at the bottom of the eye, it cannot be seen directly with the naked eye and other equipment is needed to check the extent of macular edema.
Patients with macular edema can go to the hospital for checkups, which can be done through indirect ophthalmoscopy, direct ophthalmoscopy, etc. Patients can also undergo fundus angiography to determine the location and extent of the lesion.
Patients should avoid eye stimulation by bright light, eat more citrus fruits and fresh green leafy vegetables, avoid excessive use of eyes, develop good habits of work and rest, avoid staying up late and pay attention to eye protection.
It is recommended that patients with macular edema consult a doctor to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
