Question
How should retinal ischemia be treated? Concerned parents are worried that their child, who has been suffering from this condition for a long time, may experience worsening symptoms, and are seeking medical advice.
Answer
Retinal ischemia can be caused by various factors, including blood clots, anemia, and blood diseases. If the cells at the top of the retina do not receive sufficient nutrient supply, they may lead to atrophy and death. Treatment primarily focuses on promoting blood circulation and nutrient supplementation, allowing vision to gradually recover, but it is not advisable to delay treatment for too long. Therefore, a combined approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is an effective treatment method. It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment.
