Question

I have severe swelling in the left optic nerve, and the right eye is also starting to swell. When closing my eyes, I feel light flickering, and after bleeding in the retina, macular degeneration has appeared, with black spots blocking my vision. I would like to know what daily precautions to take and which foods can aid in recovery.

Answer

Given the current symptoms, there is no significant need for further detailed examination, as optic nerve atrophy caused by high myopia is irreversible and can only be controlled through medication. It is also important to be aware of the occurrence of retinal detachment and macular holes. In terms of treatment, traditional Chinese medicine often adopts methods of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. There is currently no effective treatment method. It is recommended to eat more seafood, beans, vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in vitamins. Maintaining the current status and preventing the condition from worsening is considered an improvement.
