Macular degeneration can cause irreversible retinal photoreceptor degradation, eventually leading to loss of central vision, not only look at things twisted and dark, but also completely blind. Huang Deguang, chief physician at Taipei's General Ophthalmology Department, said that in recent years there has been a growing trend of 3C products in prevalence and patients with macular degeneration. However, to blame the blame for "blue light" is actually not reasonable because blue light causes macular degeneration Little effect, mainly due to the progressive effects of myopia.
Huang Deguang mentioned that macular degeneration can be divided into two major categories: "dry" and "wet". The former only appears on age-related macular degeneration and is caused by natural aging. Choroidal neovascularization does not occur nor does it affect Vision has a serious impact; wet macular degeneration is a new blood vessels, severe bleeding, crusting and optic atrophy, initially only the central black, if not actively deal with, the shadow will continue to expand, eventually leading to blindness.
"Aging and high myopia will lead to wet macular degeneration." Huang Deguang said that outpatient cases of patients with age-related macular degeneration in recent years did not show significant growth, but rather a high degree of myopia-induced macular degeneration , There are rising trend year by year, some people even less than 20 years of age onset.
He said that 3C products, blue light are harmful to the retina, but studies have pointed out that looking blue-ray products around the clock and will not directly cause retinopathy, only make myopia rapid soaring, and high myopia easily lead to angiogenesis, buried wet macula The disease has not exploded. "As long as more than 600 degrees, we must pay special attention."
How to prevent the occurrence of macular degeneration? Huang reminders, has confirmed that lutein can protect the eyes, to avoid vascular damage, in addition to health food, carrots, sweet potato leaves and other vegetables are rich in lutein, the public can add more.
