What medicine should I take for macular degeneration?

Macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease that usually causes serious problems with the patient's vision, resulting in a sharp drop in intermediate vision. Once macular degeneration occurs, it is difficult to cure. It is important to understand this disease in daily life. Early prevention is very important, and we must also pay attention to the problem of treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Never deliberately hide the condition.

One of the treatments for macular degeneration: prevention first, early treatment of age-related macular degeneration. Macular drusen is in the earliest stage of the disease and the lesions are the mildest, but it is potentially very dangerous and you must not be careless at this time. Patients with juvenile macular degeneration will have a decrease in central vision in the early stages, but the changes in the fundus are not obvious. At this time, they should be discovered in time, take early medication, and persist in treatment. In the course of any disease, the earliest stage, when the lesions are mildest, is the best time for treatment, and there is a greater chance of stopping the progression of the disease.

Treatment of macular degeneration: In acute and severe cases, both the symptoms and the root cause are treated together . When bloody pigment epithelial detachment, neuroepithelial detachment and blood accumulation into the vitreous body occur in the macular area, it is a sign of rapid disease progression and severe visual impairment. Such cases often recur until severe visual impairment or complete loss. For such serious cases, we must provide all-out and aggressive treatment. We will use different treatment methods according to the different stages of the disease, including blocking bleeding, invigorating Qi and unblocking collaterals, clearing away heat and cooling blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis; for those with serous exudation, we will strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm, and remove dampness and regulate Qi. Bleeding in the late stage is absorbed slowly, and it can remove blood stasis, promote qi circulation, soften and disperse nodules. For large amounts of scar formation, it can also nourish the liver and kidneys, soften and disperse nodules. For those with mild early vision loss, the main problem is macular pigmentation disorder, and it can regulate the liver and kidneys, invigorate qi, nourish blood and dredge the meridians.

The third treatment for macular degeneration: Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has obvious advantages. Due to the unique pharmacological effects of traditional Chinese medicine, it is very effective for chronic recurrent diseases. It is effective in protecting photoreceptor cells, stabilizing and improving vision, preventing the recurrence of the disease, repairing scars, and preventing the development of the disease in the other eye. It is particularly good at absorbing old bleeding and exudation. It can adjust the human function as a whole and has minimal toxic side effects. Therefore, during the treatment process, we strive to use Chinese medicine as much as possible to achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes.
