What should I do about cloudy vitreous in the eye?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Shuai
Vitreous opacity in the eye can be managed and treated through various approaches: 1. Dietary adjustment: Consuming iodine-rich foods such as laver and kelp, as well as fruits rich in vitamin C and carotene like oranges and lemons, may help promote the absorption of vitreous opacities. 2. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy: TCM treatments such as acupuncture, gua sha, and cupping may be considered to assist in managing vitreous opacity. 3. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as choline heptavulinate iodide tablets or iodo-amino acid peptide eye drops may be used. However, these medications typically take time to show effects, so consistent treatment is required. 4. Surgical treatment: For chronic, long-standing vitreous opacity caused by old hemorrhage, surgical options such as laser ablation may be considered.
