If “bugs” or “strands of hair” suddenly appear in front of your eyes, and small black shadows of various shapes and sizes flutter around, you must be very anxious! What exactly is this disease? The biggest possibility is vitreous turbidity! What about vitreous turbidity?
1, vitreous turbidity will have what performance?
As we know, mainly “flying mosquitoes”, patients always feel that there are small black dots flying around in front of the eyes, the shape of the size varies, the general vision is not affected.
2, vitreous turbidity in the end what is the disease?
The vitreous humor of the normal human eye is transparent jelly, when there is an opaque body formed vitreous turbidity. Mainly divided into two cases: one is not to worry about, do not need to treat the vitreous turbidity. It is also called physiologic vitreous opacity, and the vast majority of people fall into this category. It is a degenerative, age-related degeneration of the vitreous humor that occurs as we age, just like growing gray hair as we get older.
The other type is vitreous opacity caused by a lesion in the fundus, which requires a high degree of attention. Fundus lesions such as vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, uveitis, glittering vitreous liquefaction, primary familial amyloidosis, and intraocular tumors can be seen through eye examinations. If retinal detachment is found, it needs to be treated by surgery as early as possible, so it should be found as early as possible, treated as early as possible and given high priority.
3.What kind of vitreous opacity do I have? What tests are needed?
How can I know which kind of vitreous clouding is it? It is necessary to go to the ophthalmology examination. Through dilated fundus examination, we can see whether there are fundus lesions that need treatment. You can also check whether there are serious retinal detachments and other diseases through ophthalmic instruments, such as eye ultrasound.
4.Does vitreous turbidity need to be treated? How should it be treated?
Different types of vitreous clouding are treated differently. If it is a physiological vitreous turbidity, patients do not need to worry too much, and do not need to use any special medication, because it does not affect the vision, slowly get used to adapt to it. But if it is pathological vitreous turbidity, we must actively treat the original disease, such as laser or drugs or do vitreous cutting surgery to treat.
5.When do I need to go to the hospital again to check my vitreous clouding?
Physiological vitreous clouding, patients do not have to worry too much, but if there is a sudden increase in dark shadows, fixed or sudden loss of vision, you need to actively seek medical advice, there is a high probability of more serious fundus lesions, the need to find the cause of active treatment.
