Dr. Wang Shuai
Vitreous opacity is treatable, and the choice of treatment depends on the severity of the condition. For mild vitreous opacity, medication is usually recommended, such as iodine preparations, which can promote microvascular dilation and circulation in the eye, thereby improving ocular metabolism and facilitating the absorption of lesions and exudates. Maintaining good lifestyle habits and preventive measures is also important, including getting sufficient sleep and avoiding prolonged eye strain. For severe vitreous opacity, surgical intervention may be necessary, such as vitrectomy or YAG laser vitreolysis, which can effectively remove cloudy material from the vitreous cavity and restore vision. Treatment for vitreous opacity should be individualized based on the patient's specific condition and carried out under the guidance of a physician. Additionally, attention to daily prevention and health care can help slow disease progression.
