Question
What should I do if I experience visual distortion?
Answer
There are many causes of visual distortion in macular degeneration, usually due to subretinal fluid accumulation leading to macular edema and hemorrhage. This can be caused by the leakage of blood from broken blood vessels, blood leakage due to vascular permeability. External injury, inflammation, tumors, tissue necrosis, increased or decreased blood pressure can damage the tissue vascular wall and cause bleeding. The hemostasis mechanism is impaired due to the expansion of ultra-microvilli in the endothelial cells of the vascular wall, and the formation of new blood vessels (cv) can cause leakage and bleeding. Types of bleeding include traumatic bleeding, bleeding from vessel rupture. Inflammatory bleeding, bleeding due to blood heat and recklessness. Degenerative bleeding, changes in the blood coagulation mechanism; traditional Chinese medicine believes that Qi does not control blood, and the spleen does not lead blood. Vascular sclerosis leads to thickening of the vascular wall, reduced blood flow, ischemia of the retinal tissue, tissue necrosis and bleeding. Thrombotic bleeding. Compression bleeding due to intracranial tumor compression and displacement. The causes of bleeding are related to hypertension, diabetes, vascular embolism, blood diseases, kidney disease, trauma, complications of high myopia such as macular hemorrhage, and bleeding caused by idiopathic new blood vessels without identifiable causes. The pathological process involves bleeding or leakage, edema proliferation formation of new blood vessels, recurrence of proliferation and recurrence of leakage and bleeding, with recurrent symptoms. Treatment mainly involves purifying the blood, repairing the endothelial cells within the vessels, blocking new blood vessels, and promoting cell transformation in a positive direction. In traditional Chinese medicine, retinal hemorrhage is usually classified into retinal artery occlusion, vein occlusion, periphlebitis, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy.
