What is retinal arteriosclerosis? Middle-aged people should prevent it

Fundus arteriosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis, which refers to the retinal artery hardening seen in the fundus. The elderly are a high-risk group. Therefore, it is normal for people to have vision problems as they age. However, people in their prime should also pay attention to their diet to avoid regrets in old age.

Clinical manifestations:

1. Retinal artery

The arteries become diffusely thinner, the curvature increases, the color becomes lighter, the arterial reflective band widens, and the blood vessels run straighter.

2. Arteriovenous intersection

Venous concealment and venous slope phenomena can be seen, and the blood vessels run straight.

3. Retina

Exudation and bleeding can be seen, especially in the posterior pole, usually without edema.

treat:

Retinal arteriosclerosis generally does not require any medication. In your daily diet, try to consume less high-calorie, high-fat, and high-cholesterol foods; do not overeat; eat more vegetables and fruits; quit smoking and limit alcohol; maintain a happy mood, and exercise more, which can delay the progression of retinal arteriosclerosis in the elderly to a certain extent.

Because diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes can accelerate the process of retinal arteriosclerosis, such patients should actively receive treatment.

Retinal arteriosclerosis is a typical "signal" of systemic arteriosclerosis and requires further examination to determine the extent of arteriosclerosis in other parts of the body.
