Question
What to do when a child suddenly loses vision?
Answer
Hello, if your child around the age of five suddenly loses vision, this situation may be due to transient ischemia caused by retinal artery spasm. Generally speaking, if such symptoms occur occasionally, there is usually no need to worry. However, if these symptoms occur frequently, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to determine if there are any issues such as vascular blockage. In addition, your symptoms may also be related to blepharitis, a common eye disease that can be caused by bacteria, seborrheic dermatitis, or regional allergic reactions, leading to chronic inflammation of the eyelid margin, eyelashes, and hair follicles. In such cases, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine that promotes lung function, clears heat, and expels wind can be effective.
