I started experiencing a rapid decline in my eyesight from the age of 55, and now at 60, my eyesight has worsened. I have retinitis pigmentosa, which is congenital. How can I prevent and treat night blindness?
Answer
- Preventing night blindness is not difficult; simply consume more vitamin A-rich foods such as eggs and animal livers.
- First, arrange your nutrition scientifically, especially for infants and adolescents during their growth period. It is recommended to have a diverse diet, including not only staple foods but also a variety of side dishes such as fish, meat, eggs, beans, dairy products, animal organs, and fresh vegetables.
- Engage in more outdoor activities, expose yourself to sunlight, maintain good hygiene, and prevent systemic diseases.
- For patients with severe conditions, it is advisable to rest quietly in bed at night.
- Regularly eating apples can prevent night blindness.
- Fresh crucian carp, cleaned and slowly cooked in soup, can be eaten with the fish and the broth. Fish are rich in vitamin A and are particularly suitable for patients with night blindness, helping to prevent dry eyes, night blindness, and various corneal inflammations.
