Blurred vision caused by cerebral infarction

Cerebral infarction is a disease that poses great hidden dangers to patients. It usually occurs in the brain and has many symptoms. For example, many patients with cerebral infarction will experience blurred vision after the onset of the disease. If a patient with cerebral infarction experiences blurred vision, he or she must receive timely and appropriate treatment for the cause. In addition, he or she must regulate his or her daily routine and develop good eating habits to prevent the condition from worsening.

1. Why does cerebral infarction cause blurred vision?

Cerebral infarction, also called stroke. This is caused by the blockage of blood vessels in the brain tissue, just like there is garbage in the sewer, which is blocked, and the water is constantly flowing, which creates pressure on the washbasin. Our body is like this washbasin. As the pressure gets greater and greater, the washbasin can no longer bear it and the water will flow out. However, our body cannot excrete the water, which will cause diseases to internal organs, blood vessel walls and other organs. The optic nerve and blood vessels are under pressure, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the eyes, which can cause damage to the retina, resulting in dry and blurred eyes, and even blindness in severe cases. Dry, blurred eyes are just one of the many complications of a stroke.

2. What to do if your vision is blurred due to cerebral infarction?

Blurred vision is often caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina. But for patients with cerebral infarction, although the affected area is the eye, it is actually caused by the blockage of blood vessels in the brain, just like the upstream and downstream of a river, the brain blood vessels are the upstream and the retinal blood vessels are the downstream. If the water flow in the upstream stops, the downstream will definitely be affected. Therefore, it is recommended not to only treat eye diseases, but to start from the root cause.

If you have blurred vision when the disease just started, it is considered that the visual center in the occipital lobe of the brain has been damaged. The visual center is equivalent to the engine of the eye, and all visual information must be transported there for processing and classification so that we can perceive red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. If there is a problem in this area, it is not easy to recover.

If it has only appeared recently, you should have a careful check to see if it is a problem with the eyes or a new infarction has occurred in the brain. Because the blood vessels in our entire body are connected, if one part is blocked, it will cause blockages in many other places. The more blocked the blood vessels are, the more blockages there will be.

3. Precautions for patients with cerebral infarction:

Patients with cerebral infarction should be careful about their diet and develop good living habits. Be cautious about the occurrence of complications and ensure early detection and early treatment. Take antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin on a daily basis. People with high blood lipids should take lipid-lowering drugs, and it is best to control low-density lipoprotein below 2.1mmol/l. People with diabetes need to control their blood sugar and try to keep fasting blood sugar between 4.4 and 6.1. Secondly, you should engage in regular and moderate physical exercise.
