Mr. Li is 40 years old, suffering from hypertension and obesity, which leads to the wind in his eyes finding his upper body and seriously affects his vision. (The picture is for illustration only, not the party involved in the event) Visual field defect and blurred eyes? Watch out! I'm afraid it is the wind in my eyes.
Dr. Chen Yingshan, director of ophthalmology at Guotai Hospital in Hsinchu, said that the symptom commonly known as "eye wind", medically known as "retinal vein occlusion", is an eye vascular disease that seriously affects vision. The main clinical symptoms are visual impairment such as visual field defect (partial visual field can not be seen clearly) or blurred vision (seeing things in fog).
Generally, it is more common in middle-aged and elderly people aged 50 ~ 70, and the prevalence rate will increase with age. However, with the influence of refined diet, it is also found that the age of eye wind is gradually decreasing. Dr. Chen Yingshan pointed out that when he was only in his early twenties in the New Year, he encountered an eye wind problem in his life.
"Wind in the eyes" has not been treated for 5 years? 1/4 may have a stroke.
However, what is the risk of wind in the eyes, and what is the difference from the general stroke? Dr. Chen Yingshan explained that the wind in the eyes can be used as an important wind direction indicator for future strokes. In fact, the blood transport direction of human body can be divided into two major routes. One is from the heart to the lower part of the heart to the soles of the feet. Second, it flows from the heart up through the neck, face and eyes, and then it is sent to the brain.
Therefore, once a patient has a history of "three highs", especially hypertension, when the blood pressure is too high and the blood flow is too fast, the blood vessels may not be able to transport a large amount of blood upward, especially in the eyes with fine vascular structure, which may burst the blood vessels and lead to "eye wind".
