Can macular disease of the eye be cured?
Disease description:
My vision has been very poor recently—I feel like everything looks blurry. I assumed it was due to prolonged smartphone use, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. However, after resting for several days, there’s been no improvement at all. When I went to the hospital for evaluation, I was diagnosed with macular disease. I’d like to ask whether this condition can be cured.

Hello, yellowish discoloration of the sclera (the “white” of the eye) is primarily caused by irregular daily routines and prolonged use of radiation-emitting devices such as smartphones. If you notice yellowing of the sclera, it is essential to rest your eyes promptly and avoid exposure to intense or high-radiation light sources. In subsequent management, gentle eye massage and application of prescribed eye drops may aid gradual recovery. Additionally, avoid overusing your eyes during the recovery period. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
