What happened to the child's eyes?

As modern society continues to progress and people's living standards continue to improve, more and more people are prone to diseases, especially the elderly and children. Children are the most sensitive group because their immune system is not as good as that of adults and they often get sick easily. Some children may suddenly become blind and cannot see anything. Why did the child suddenly become blind? Many adults were very anxious and rushed to the hospital for medical treatment. Why is that? Today we will talk about the reasons why children suddenly become blind.

The main causes of sudden blindness are:

1. Central Retinal Artery Embolism Acute Central Retinal Artery Embolism (CRAO) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Acute central retinal artery embolism (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency that requires rapid restoration of blood perfusion to the ischemic retina to avoid irreversible vision loss.

The central retinal artery is the only source of nutrition for the inner layer of the retina. Since it is a terminal artery with no anastomosis between its branches, once blocked, the blood supply to the inner layer of the retina is interrupted, causing acute retinal ischemia and severe vision loss. It is one of the emergencies that lead to blindness.

2. Fundus and vitreous hemorrhage. Vitreous hemorrhage is vitreous hemorrhage, a common disease that causes decreased vision due to vascular, inflammatory, tumor, retinal tears and other reasons. On the one hand, this disease not only makes the refractive medium turbid and prevents light from reaching the retina, but also can cause serious damage to the eye tissue; on the other hand, the body's response to bleeding can gradually clear the blood.

3. Acute neuritis,

4. Acute glaucoma can lead to serious consequences such as instant blindness.

To sum up, there are many reasons why a child suddenly becomes blind. The main causes are infection or irritation. For example, frequently rubbing the eyes with the hands or being exposed to strong light stimulation can easily cause children to suffer from decreased vision or even blindness. Therefore, in daily life, adults should provide children with a relatively safe environment to prevent them from getting hurt. The above content is for reference only.
