What Is Neuroretinitis?

Retinal neuritis, an eye disease, the main symptom is vision loss, which often develops suddenly, and vision loss or even reaches within a few days

Eye profile

Retinal neuritis

The occurrence of retinal neuritis is generally related to systemic infectious diseases, central nervous system inflammation, metabolic disorders and poisoning. In addition, some inflammation in the eyeball can also affect the optic nerve and cause optic nerve inflammation. Ophthalmology of western medicine believes that this disease is not an independent disease, but a symptom of some eye diseases, so it is very important to manage the primary disease. Generally, after the primary disease is cured in time, vitreous opacity can gradually be absorbed slowly.

Retinal neuritis

Retinal neuritis, an eye disease, the main symptom is vision loss, which often develops suddenly, and vision loss or even reaches within a few days

Eye profile

The degree of blindness.

- Retinal Neuritis-Introduction

Due to the complex etiology of this disease, medication should be used under the guidance of an ophthalmologist. It can also be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or prescriptions under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation. If the treatment is timely and appropriate, it is usually better after healing, but after the inflammation subsides, there are usually different degrees of optic nerve atrophy. The vision of the light can be partially restored, and the vision of the severe will be severely damaged or even blind.

- Retinal neuritis -clinical manifestations

(1) Vision decline: Most of the eyesight suddenly drops, and even a few days after the onset of vision can be reduced to light or no light.

(2) Traction-like pain in the back of the eyeball and deep orbital tenderness when the eyeball rotates.

(3) The pupils are slow to reflect light or disappear, or do not have a lasting response to light.

(4) Fundus changes: optic disc congestion, mild bulge (below 3D), blurred edges, disappearance of physiological depression, retinal vein filling and curling, turbid retinal edema, flame-like bleeding, and yellowish white exudation around the nipples Sometimes, it can spread to the macula and cause reflection-like edema wrinkles in the macula.

At this time, the fundus was basically normal in the early stage, the optic nipples became pale in the late stage, and the optic nerve atrophy.

(5) Visual field change: it appears as a central dark spot or a lateral central dark spot.

(6) Electrophysiological examination: P-wave latency is prolonged and the amplitude of P-wave is decreased.

(7) Fundus fluorescein angiography: In the early stage of optic papillitis, the papillary surface of the veins leaks with fluorescence, and the edges are blurred. The vein phase showed strong fluorescence.

- Retinal neuritis-treatment

(1) Etiology treatment:

Every effort should be made to find the cause and remove the lesion. For those with unknown reasons, all suspicious lesions should be removed.

(B) Corticosteroid treatment:

In acute patients, due to inflammation and swelling of the optic nerve fibers, if the time is too long or the inflammatory response is too severe, the optic nerve fibers can be degenerated and necrotic. Therefore, it is extremely important to control the inflammatory response early and avoid the involvement of optic nerve fibers. Prednisone, prednisone, and dexamethasone can be taken orally; in severe cases, adrenocorticotropic hormones can be administered intravenously (A.C.T.H.).

(Three) vasodilators:

After the ball injection, tolasurin or oral tolasurin, niacin and so on.

(D) Supportive therapies:

Vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 are injected intramuscularly once a day, and adenosine triphosphate 20 mg can be injected intramuscularly once a day.

(5) Anti-infective treatment:

In case of infection, antibiotics (penicillin, vanguardin) can be used.

(6) Traditional Chinese medicine Xiaoyao San addition and subtraction formula:

Homecoming, Jiaobai, Bupleurum, Danpi, Poria, Licorice, Jiaoshanyu, Baizhi, Baiju, Wolfberry

(7) New Needle Therapy:

Main points: Jianming, behind the ball, eyesight.

Acupoints: Yiming, Fengchi, Zusanli. Use strong stimulus to improve the condition. Use weak stimulus instead.
