Vitreous opacity in eyes?

summary

Vitreous opacity is also known as flying mosquito disease. Intravitreal hemorrhage of embryonic cells or tissues, retina or uvea, hemorrhage or exudate of hypertension, diabetes and uveitis, and vitreous degeneration of high myopia in the elderly can lead to vitreous liquefaction and opacity. Others such as ocular trauma, persistent intraocular foreign bodies, parasites or tumors can also occur vitreous opacity. What is the symptom of vitreous opacity? Let's talk about it.

Vitreous opacity in eyes?

Vitreous hemorrhage. Most common. Vitreous itself without blood vessels, all bleeding is foreign, especially in the retina of large blood vessels, hypertension, diabetes, retinal vein occlusion, etc. are common in the elderly, trauma is also a common cause. If the hemorrhage is not absorbed for a long time, it can be organized and proliferated, leading to retinal traction detachment.

Inflammatory exudation in vitreous. Common in uveitis, suppurative endophthalmitis, sympathetic ophthalmitis, syphilitic retinochoroiditis, etc. Examination can find floating punctate and flocculent inflammatory cells in vitreous. If it is serious, there may be pus in vitreous, which eventually leads to traction retinal detachment.

Vitreous pigmentation can be seen in primary retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, trauma, etc. Pigment granules may come from retinal pigment layer or intravitreal hemorrhage. Intraocular tumor. The most common intraocular malignant tumor in infants is retinoblastoma, while reticulosarcoma is seen in the elderly, which can lead to vitreous opacity.

matters needing attention

According to traditional Chinese medicine, vitreous opacity belongs to the category of "flying mosquito syndrome". Therefore, when we treat vitreous opacity, we can treat it as floaters. There is no need to treat the disease. Pathological turbidity should be treated according to the primary disease. Patients with fresh vitreous hemorrhage should rest in bed and use hemostatic drugs; For patients with old bleeding, drugs to promote turbid absorption should be used, such as dionin eye drops, oral vitamin C, Dibazol, etc., intramuscular injection of amiodarone or hyaluronidase. For severe cases, if the general treatment is ineffective, vitrectomy can be used.
