Prevention and care of sparks or flashes before the eyes

Sparks in the eyes or flashes of light in front of the eyes are clinically diagnosed symptoms of temporal arteritis. Temporal arteritis, also known as cranial arteritis, is named after the anatomical site. It is an inflammatory disease of the large and medium arteries that can involve arteries in several locations, but all have temporal artery damage. It is clinically characterized by headache, fever, eye pain, generalized pain and progressive visual impairment or even blindness. The disease is closely related to rheumatic polymyalgia. There is no better preventive measure for vasculitis neurological damage: early diagnosis and early treatment should be performed, and hormone maintenance should be taken for several months during the remission period, which can improve the prognosis. Treatment to control secondary neurological damage is the main measure of prevention. The usual lack of attention to preventive tissues and organs can cause some harm. Damage and dysfunction are limited to a particular organ targeted by antibodies or sensitized lymphocytes. The main ones include: chronic lymphoid thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis, chronic ulcerative colitis, pernicious anemia with chronic atrophic gastritis, pulmonary hemorrhagic nephritis syndrome, unusual pemphigus, pemphigus-like pemphigoid, primary cholestatic liver stiffness, multiple cerebro-spinal sclerosis, and acute idiopathic polyneuritis. If early attention is not paid to treatment, not only thyroiditis and hyperthyroidism may occur but also a variety of visual field defects, ciliary artery small branch involvement can cause partial visual field defects, anterior superior pituitary arteritis and blood supplying optic cross part of the small arteries involved often cause bilateral temporal visual field defects, vertebral artery embolism can cause bilateral occipital lobe blindness (cortical blindness). Ocular motility disorders are also common in the eye, with ptosis being the most common, followed by diplopia, which occurs early in the course of ocular involvement and is a prodromal symptom of blindness that can last for several weeks, due to insufficient supply of blood to the nerves of the brain. It can also sometimes manifest as deafness or ear pain due to damage to the blood vessels supplying the cochlea. Patients with temporal arteritis should rest and avoid physical labor. Reasonable diet, eat vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins and fiber. Avoid cold and irritating food. Avoid eating sticky and greasy food that is difficult to digest. Avoid eating high fat and oil fried, smoked, fried and fried food. Fish, shrimp, crab, eggs, milk, etc., should try to avoid contact or consumption.
