Retinal arteriosclerosis can cause blindness

Retinal arteriosclerosis may cause blindness.

Retinal arteriosclerosis can lead to reduced arterial blood flow, which in the long run will affect the function of optic disc tissue. In severe cases, it can also be complicated by complications such as central retinal artery occlusion, ischemic optic neuropathy, etc., which will affect the patient's visual function, resulting in decreased vision, visual field defects, and even blindness. However, if the disease is mild and does not cause optic nerve or tissue damage, it generally does not cause blindness.

It is recommended that patients receive timely standardized treatment, and the primary disease should be identified and controlled. In addition, eye hygiene should be maintained.
