What is fundus arteriosclerosis?

Fundus-related arteriosclerosis is a kind of chronic fundus vascular disease, the specific cause is not clear, but it is generally believed that there is a certain relationship with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, bad living habits and other factors.

1, hyperlipidemia

patients with cholesterol and triglyceride levels are relatively high, and cholesterol and some minerals in the blood may gather on the arterial wall to form arterial plaques. Plaque accumulation for a long time can make arterial vessels narrow and harder, inducing fundus arteriosclerosis.

2, hypertension and blood

pressure continue to be at a high level may damage the vascular endothelium, leading to narrowing and blocking of blood vessels, but also may form local thrombosis, causing ischemic necrosis of the fundus retina, causing fundus arteriosclerosis.

3, bad living habits

usually like to eat fat and greasy food, often smoking and drinking, etc., can lead to increased metabolic waste in the blood or damage blood vessels, is a risk factor for fundus arteriosclerosis.
