Recovery of vision from a cerebral infarction is primarily a result of aggressive treatment of the infarction, and recovery of vision from a cerebral infarction may follow. Visual impairment includes blindness, blurred vision, partial blindness or quadrant blindness, which is mainly seen in occipital lobe lesions, and patients may have physical symptoms and signs at the same time. For the treatment of cerebral infarction, thrombolytic therapy should be given as early as possible, such as within six hours of the onset of the disease, when intravenous thrombolysis is appropriate, and commonly used drugs include alteplase and urokinase. Intravenous thrombolysis can rapidly restore cerebral blood flow, improve brain tissue metabolism, and can maximize the improvement of symptoms and signs of neurological deficits. If the patient is not suitable for thrombolysis or exceeds the time window for thrombolysis, aspirin is given as early as possible to fight platelet aggregation, and neuroprotection and improvement of blood circulation are given. Neuroprotective drugs commonly used include edaravone, cytarabine and ceruloplasmin hydrolyzate. Drugs to improve blood circulation are generally used, such as suxamethonium, vincristine and chuanxiongxizine.
