What are the dangers of vitreous degeneration to the eyes?

When the eye is myopia, especially high myopia (above 500 degrees), the eyeball will undergo elongation and deformation of the anterior and posterior diameters, squeezing the vitreous fiber scaffold, and the vitreous fiber scaffold will accelerate its collapse after being squeezed. As we age, the cumulative effect of light will also accelerate the collapse of the glass fiber scaffold.

Experts said that the relationship between the vitreous and the retina is close, the lesions of the two often affect each other, the liquefaction of the vitreous will make the vitreous form a cavity, with the expansion of the liquefied cavity, the liquefied vitreous enters the retina through the tear of the rear vitreous membrane, so that the retina and the vitreous are separated, the patient will have floaters, flickering sensation in front of the eyes, or vision loss, and in severe cases, the retina will be pulled to cause retinal tears or macular holes, resulting in serious vision loss and even blindness.

Vitreous degeneration is characterized by liquefaction, posterior detachment, and atrophy leading to opacity. Sometimes a single lesion or a combination of these lesions, and simple vitreous liquefaction has no obvious symptoms except for occasional eye floaters, most commonly in people with high myopia and older age. This liquefaction degeneration often leads to posterior detachment of the vitreous, often a ring of black shadow or accompanied by spider web-like black shadow fluttering in front of the eyes, which has a certain impact on the vision, and some patients after a period of time, due to the sinking of the detached posterior hiatus due to gravity, the black shadow disappears.

There are also some patients who are suspended in the vitreous humor from the posterior boundary membrane (posterior hiatus), which interferes with the patient's vision, but it does not greatly hinder the vision and is generally not necessary. Vitreous degeneration due to ocular trauma and other eye diseases must be treated with early medication and, if necessary, vitrectomy to relieve symptoms.

Hello, vitreous degeneration is a very common condition, especially in high myopia and the elderly. Mild vitreous degeneration does not need to do anything, only follow-up observation is required. Severe vitreous degeneration, if it has seriously affected vision, or interfered with daily life, can be taken in the following two ways**

1. Drugs**, drugs containing lecithin complexed iodine can be taken orally to promote the absorption of turbidity, but the onset of action is relatively slow, and it may take multiple courses of treatment to see the effect. 2. Vitreous laser ablation, which uses laser surgery to break up the turbidity to promote its absorption. This surgery is relatively mature in technology, and many people have solved their problems through this surgery.

Retinitis pigmentosa is usually biocular and occasionally monocular, and is more common in males than females. It is more common for children to marry close relatives. Estimates of incidence in the general population range from 1 4 000 to 1 20 000.

The early symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa are night blindness, the visual field gradually narrows, and the central vision can be maintained for a long time. The general rule is that the autosomal dominant type has a late onset, and the symptoms of night blindness begin to appear in adulthood or near adulthood, and the course of the disease is slow, the visual impairment is relatively mild, and many patients maintain a certain central vision for many years.

The autosomal recessive type has an early onset and can develop symptoms from adolescence, with more severe disease but slower progression, and some residual central vision in older age. The sex-linked recessive inheritance type often occurs at an early age within 10 years of age, with obvious lesions, and around 40 years old, vision is extremely poor, and even blindness.

In general, the disease begins in children and adolescents with worsening symptoms and gradual narrowing of the visual field from early to adolescence, to macular involvement in middle age or old age, leading to loss of central vision and blindness. And it can also be complicated by ophthalmic diseases such as optic nerve atrophy, cataract, vitreous opacity, and myopia. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention in time to avoid further deterioration of the condition.

Drugs**: Nutrients, hemodilators, and antioxidants are used**, but the effect is not established. Surgical treatment:

Many scholars have conducted research on retinal pigment epithelial cells, retinal photoreceptor cells, and iris pigment epithelial cell transplantation, but the technology is still immature. Warm tips from Shijiazhuang Shengxiang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine.
